Mary Poppins vs Scary Mary Unit 2 : Self & Society Setting, tone, mood, and Author’s Purpose: What do they have in common? We are going to watch 2 movie trailers, look at your handout – what are we looking for? Mary Poppins vs Scary Mary

Ok so what did we just watch? Mary Poppins Scary Mary Mood: Tone: Setting: Imagery: How did the change in these elements effect you as a viewer? Why would the author/ director want to do that? This will projected straight on the board and students will add the info from their WS.

Utopia vs Dystopia Here is where I would introduce the def. of Utopia and Dystopia – I may or may not write these on the board. Again we are looking at colors are symbols and analyzing mood to figure out the differences. Look at your notes on the videos; which was which? What predictions can you make about the things we will be reading?

Turn your WS over! Let’s think about author’s purpose – if you were going to write a story about a society that tried so hard to become perfect that they became evil; what would your message be? What modern day events do you think stories like this relate to?

Homework Read and Annotate “The Pedestrian” Use your Guided Reading questions as the basis for your annotation.

The Pedestrian Video Let’s look at our guided reading. What did you notice?

The Pedestrian Think, Pair, Share With the person sitting next to you discuss the following: What Literary Device had the biggest impact on you as the reader? What was that impact? What ‘real world’ issues could this story connect to? Why do you think Bradbury wrote this piece? What did he want the reader to think about?

On a loose sheet of paper! Answer the following questions: What is the Central Idea of the Pedestrian? What could the author be attempting to relate to in real life? What is one possible theme? How did the author use setting and tone to make you understand what they were trying to say?

Compound and Complex Sentence Rules Try to fill out your sheet as we move along remember to make word banks in your notebook as need. Try to do as much of this sheet without looking at your notes as possible BUT when you get stuck look there for the answer first!!

Allegory Allegory is a figurative mode of representation conveying meaning other than the literal. Allegory communicates its message by means of symbolic figures, actions or symbolic representation. What does all that mean?

Allegory An allegory tells us one story while really telling us another. Think of The Pedestrian – we read about a man walking down the road but was that REALLY what Bradbury meant? Try and think of a few other stories that have another story hidden inside!

Peace of the Wild Things Open you book to pg 410. What is this poem about? How does it relate to anything else we have read? Think about what an allegory is- what could possibly be hidden here.

Writing Section Think about how the themes or messages of this poem and The Pedestrian might be similar. If you had to make connections between the two what would they be? 1 paragraph!
