WNB: Vocab - select 3 new or interesting words from your reading to add to the vocab section of your notebook.
We challenged the structure of Elizabeth Bowen's "The Demon Lover" and considered how the story would have been different if told in chronological order rather than with flashbacks. Most students believe the mystery and suspense would be lost if the story started in 1916 when Kathleen met the soldier.
We finally got to interpret the story! Students have probably been thinking about what the story means on a deeper level since we started reading on Monday. Today, they put those ideas on paper. Students were asked "Who--or what--takes Mrs. Drover away at the end of the story?" Students considered language and events to support their responses. After writing, they shared their response with a partner to be sure the interpretation could be supported by the text. Then we collected all of the interpretations and proof on a chart (available on Classroom), and students wrote another draft of their interpretation. We will have a little time to work on this tomorrow before it is due.
