Cask of Amontillado Lesson Rotations

Goals: Understanding "Cask of Amontillado" better, comparing characters, gathering evidence and more.
For the next several days we will be working in station-rotations. Your group will rotate through two stations per day. Use the directions on your table to know what you are working on at that station. 

Your station may need some digital resources. 
You can find them here. 
Match the sign on your group table to the activity below. 

GOOGLE DOCS COPY OF "CASK OF AMONTILLADO"

Finding Evidence of Irony, Mood and Theme in "Cask of Amontillado" 
Work with a PARTNER from your group to complete this form.
One of you should open the form and you'll both need to open the copy of "Cask of Amontillado."
LINK TO FORM

You may want this TEMPLATE DOCUMENT.
Remember to use the organizer at the bottom of the doc first.

Article of the Week (Work on your own.)
Read one of the articles and write about it in your English Journal.
Remember to write your first paragraph as a summary and the second paragraph about your opinion.
Article Choice #1   Stardust found in Australian meteorite
Article Choice #2   If you want to know more about the impeachment

Close read of the opening paragraphs of "Cask of Amontillado"
Ms. Roberts or Ms. Dowd will guide you through this activity.
You won't need your computer for it.

Silent Reading
We will have two stations of silent reading, so you'll get reading time two out of the three days we have rotations. (That adds up to slightly more time than you would get if we just read for ten minutes in class each day.)

REMINDERS: 
Bring back your BLUE course selection card.
Keep reading book #7. Finish by 2/22.
