Period Five Sheltered: Finishing "A Sound of Thunder"

Today, we read through page seven and discussed characterization and plot. In groups, we looked at what new things we know about Eckels since we made our characterization charts... a lot has happened in the story since then! We also worked on the plot chart, adding key events up to the climax of the story. We also watched another part of the video version of the story, and discussed what was good and bad about it.

Homework is to finish reading the story, and annotate for the literary terms we have covered, which are:

Metaphor
Simile
Imagery
Mood
Foreshadowing
Suspense
Characterization

See you Thursday!
