Are you looking for an interactive, student-led activity/ assessment for the end of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"?

A Socratic Seminar is a structured, student-led discussion. This file contains 2 different packets of Socratic Circle questions- packet A and packet B. Each packet contains 3 different questions that require students to answer and provide two quotes from the text to back up their answers. Students are also required to come up with 3 additional questions they will ask if there's time in their circle. Finally, the packet has a page where each student will monitor a partner in the opposite circle. They will make a check each time their partner speaks, and paraphrase a meaningful comment their partner made. Lastly, the file contains the socratic circle rubric.

When you print out the file, you'll see packet A, packet B, and then the rubric. You'll need to cut each packet page in half after you print them out, as each booklet you give to the students is only half a page. They are labeled A and B. Give half your class A, half B, and allow them to plan! The day of the circle, you'll let A discuss for maybe 20-30 minutes, then flip-flop your circles and have B discuss.

My students really enjoy Socratic Seminars! I have found it works better when you give each group three different questions, so you don't see the same discussion 2 times, which is how this packet is set up.

Included are 25 quotes from "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson that you will cut into strips. 18 of the quotes ARE foreshadowing, 7 are NOT. (I have clearly marked for the teacher which ones are and are not; you'll mix them up before giving them to your students.) The teacher will make a set for each group of students. The directions (included- you can project them or make copies) instruct the students to make a pile of the strips that contribute to the mood and foreshadow the negative ending to the story, and a pile of the ones that do not. For the ones that DO, they are instructed to discuss WHY/ HOW they are examples of foreshadowing with their groupmates.
