September 1, 2016 - Thursday


 Haunted or imagined? What do you think happened in "The Yellow Wallpaper?" Why? What evidence is there? Share at your tables.

1.  Return to your group for the color activity:

  • Research: What does that color symbolize? Is it important in any way? What "things" are that color? 
  • Explain how the story would change if the wallpaper were your assigned color. 
  •  Your group has 15 minutes to work on this. We will then share. You may create some sort of visual/powerpoint/prezi if you wish. Coloring with markers on the white board is also fine.
All must speak. Break up the information so that all have an equal oppportunity.
A. Introduce yourselves and your color.
B. Answer why the color is or is not important. Share what items/things are that color. Share if and where the color is important around the world.
C. Does the color have any "mystical" or magical powers?
D. Most importantly, how would the story change if the wallpaper had been your color instead of yellow, or would the story change?

Take notes on the presentations of others. Submit for 30 points.

2. Just who was Charlotte Perkins Gillman?

3. We will begin watching the movie in class. 

Please finish for homework. 
There are eight sections. For each section, write a sentence or two that explains how the movie is similar to or differs from the short story.
Conclude with a brief paragraph that explains if the movie did justice to the short story.
Feel free to provide suggestions to the director and producer!
