Today we read the short story "The Elephant" aloud. We then went over the historical context of the story, the reasons why it's a satirical allegory, the hidden meanings, and the themes. This included a small review of WWII events and communism. Students were then given a worksheet to complete.
We also started reading the story "The Yellow Wallpaper" and we will continue this next class.
Reminders:
