1. ICTW #10 18 September 2012

2. + Introduction to Voice 4 Listen carefully to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and think about its voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rghJEWAUqoE 1. What kind of voice does this music have? How is it different from Barber's voice? Pretend the music is a kind of self-portrait. Write two statements that capture the voice of this “self- portrait.” I am... I feel... 2. What evidence can you find in the music to support your statements? Be specific. Try to focus on one instrument at a time, and think about tempo (how fast the music goes) and volume. Musicians have voice, too. Like visual artists, musicians make conscious choices in order to create an effect. Musicians choose the kinds of instruments they will use, how fast or slow the music is, and whether it is high or low, loud or soft.

3. + 1. First, choose a piece of your favorite music to share with someone in class on a portable device (iPod, iPad, cell phone, etc.); you must provide headphones. It will also be in your best interest to provide the lyrics to your chosen song (if applicable). 2. Next, write self-portrait statements about the music for your group members. (I am… (with evidence) & I feel…(with evidence)) 3. You and your teacher-chosen group members will listen to excerpts of the music and discuss the evidence that supports your statements. This is due: Friday, September 21st. Now your turn: Introduction to Voice 4

4. + On Tap SOAPSTone “The Lottery” Small group work: SOAPSTone together HOMEWORK: Flip short stories & complete a SOAPSTone to turn in on Wednesday.

5. + Ok. Together SOAPSTone for “The Lottery”

6. + Title: “The Lottery” Author: Shirley Jackson

7. + Speaker Speaker (narrator) remains objective and outside of the action. = THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

8. + Evidence “He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him. because he had no children and his wife was a scold” (1)(lines 24-25). **Note the use of pronouns!**

9. + Occasion with evidence… There was strained relationship between Shirley Jackson and the villagers of North Bennington (where Jackson raised her children). Jackson’s children recall a drumbeat of anti-Semitic comments directed at their father, Stanley Edgar Hyman. Ralph Ellison, a regular visitor to the Hyman household in the 1950s, described tense moments of interaction for a black man in a wholly white village. The Hymans engaged in the rituals of Little League yet endured swastikas soaped on their windows.

10. + Audience & Evidence No audience is identified; however, based on the occasion, one could claim the audience was meant to be Jackson’s neighborhood. This story was originally published in The New Yorker. It caused a HUGE uproar and was even banned by one country.

11. + Purpose

12. + Purpose & Evidence Jackson’s words: "Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I suppose, I hoped, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own village to shock the story's readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives."

13. + Subject inhumanity Standing by and doing nothing as others are hurt. senseless violence mindless following the crowd

14. + Evidence “Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys” (1) (lines 12-15).

15. + Tone pessimistic

16. + Evidence “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn't fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him. "It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her.” (6) (lines 198-202) **No matter the protestations, or the senselessness of the lottery, the members of the community stone Mrs. Hutchinson to death.**

17. + Your turn Find two other peers that read the same short story that you did (“The Necklace or “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”). Discuss the short story. Summarize, react, & resolve questions. Complete a SOAPSTone TOGETHER.

18. + Homework Read the story you didn’t read. Complete a SOAPSTone for that story. Turn in on Wednesday when you walk in the room.
