Monkey's Paw, Part II


The word for breakdown today is MALICIOUS.

Malfunction, Malpractice, Malady, Malice, Mal, Malnutrition, Malware.

Today we continued reading The Monkey's Paw and discussed the mood in an attempt to secure interest and establish expectations which aid interest as well as understanding.

Here is the text.
Here is the audio.

If this audio doesn't play automatically, then after clicking the link go to File > Save Page As > and Save the mp3 file to My Music or some where familiar to you and then play it from your PC or transfer it to your phone or mp3 player and listen to it that way.

Students in need of extra or supplementary work were asked to do the following:

Find the examples of foreshadowing in the short story and explain them.
Hypothesize the possible wishes of the Sergeant Major and provide quotes as evidence.

This was weekend homework for 8th period, 2 page minimum length.

Have a great weekend, and, as always, work hard!

Questions that should eventually be answered
