Close reading of the opening of "Cask of Amontillado"

The Cask of Amontillado by manonquinn

Goal: Develop a deeper understanding of the characters in "Cask of Amontillado" by doing a close reading of the first three paragraphs.

Agenda:
Read
Close reading of "Cask of Amontillado," Section1

Close reading:

1. Open your copy of "Cask of Amontillado."
2. If you didn't make your own copy yesterday you can get a copy of the text here. 

I'll be using some slides in class to walk us through this process. I'll add them here later for your review. 

Reminders:

• Read your book for 30 minutes. You should be almost 2/3 done about now.
• Tomorrow you will have some time in class to finish reading "Cask of Amontillado," but if you have not done your prediction chart up through section 2 then you need to catch up tonight. 
• If you did not complete the paragraph about irony and theme in "Possibility of Evil" from 2/6 last week you also need to complete that.
