We started today with silent reading and a worksheet on interjections. I then did a lesson on foreshadowing; we watched a couple examples from movie clips, students took notes, and we evaluated a short fictional paragraph to pick out signs of foreshadowing. We then read "The Monkey's Paw" as a class. Thanks to my readers! Students then worked on corresponding questions and we watched a Simpsons adaptation of "The Monkey's Paw".
