Although "The Lottery" is now a staple in English classrooms, when it was first published in The New Yorker it caused hundreds of people to cancel their subscriptions. It has been called "outrageous," "gruesome," and "utterly pointless" -- but remains a story that readers remember the rest of their lives. In a small New England village, residents follow a tradition of drawing slips of paper from a lottery. The "winner" is stoned to death. Horrific? Yes. Thought-provoking? Absolutely. The story, though, is also a terrific example of how an author uses language, setting, and description to fashion an ending full of haunting surprise. The subject itself engenders many levels of discussion: Why would a village have such a tradition? What might the lottery represent? Could such a lottery ever happen again? And why did Tessie Hutchinson finish her dishes before leaving home? Students should attend class having read the story and be prepared to participate in a discussion of analysis, literary techniques, and cultural applications of the tale. A copy of the story is available at http://fullreads.com/literature/the-lottery/.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura desde University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
My passions -- as well as my professional background -- are writing and literature. Professionally, I hold a B.A. in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I've been published in numerous newspapers and magazines. I've also taught writing and literature classes to students of all ages and abilities.
On a personal note, I have homeschooled all five of my children and taught them all to read and write... and with each it has been a different experience! What's easy for one child is not easy for another. When I teach online, I always remember that it's important to keep learning fun and to incorporate different methods of teaching to reach all my students.
This story in particular remains one of my favorites, and I always love hearing the viewpoints and insights students bring to class!
