Prepare for Short Stories Socratic (Quarter One)

You will have to relate Most Dangerous Game, The Grimm Brothers, Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allen Poe, and any other stories your class has read, to the following questions:

1.) What does the story tell about the storyteller (Author)? Do your research here.
2.) How are oral stories different than written ones?
3.) How do stories change/explain the world around us? Relate the stories to real life.
4.) Why do we still read this?

During the Socratic you will be talking with each other. Not to me.

Prepare by:

Bringing your notes.
Writing new notes.
Printing out the texts and marking them up.
Being prepared to say quotes directly from the texts.
Speaking at least three times.
