Embark on a Fascinating Literary Exploration of Matheson's "Button, Button" in a One-on-One Online Class!

As a dedicated and experienced K-12 ELA instructor (12 years teaching diverse Middle School learners and advising the poetry club), I believe in making literature engaging and accessible. With a Master's in Educational Leadership and Bachelor's in Education & English (writing emphasis), I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for helping students connect with powerful stories.

Richard Matheson's "Button, Button" offers a seemingly simple yet deeply unsettling premise: a mysterious stranger presents a couple with a button that promises wealth at the cost of a stranger's life. In our interactive 1:1 online class, we'll delve into the psychological suspense, the moral tightrope the characters walk, and the shocking twist that redefines everything. We'll analyze how Matheson uses carefully crafted dialogue and vivid imagery to build tension and foreshadow the devastating outcome.

Together, we'll explore the story's enduring relevance, its commentary on human nature, and the chilling consequences of unchecked desire. You'll gain a deeper understanding of literary elements like irony and foreshadowing and develop your critical thinking skills as we discuss the characters' choices and the story's ultimate meaning.

Our learning goals include: comprehending the plot, analyzing character motivations, identifying and explaining foreshadowing and irony, discussing the story's timeless themes, and formulating your own interpretations.
