Students had 20 minutes to work on this in class.  The following will be due Friday:

Using the short Story by Frank Stockton, "The Lady or the Tiger," decide which came out…the lady or the tiger. If you need to re read the story, you can find it HERE.

Due Tomorrow, come up with your side/position and 6 details from the story to support your claim.

Focus on details from the story to support your side. You may also use personal experience.

You will eventually write a multi paragraph essay citing evidence from the story to support your claims.

This will be written the same way you would write a persuasive essay since you are essentially persuading the reader to side with you.

Remember when you use sentences from the short story, to put them in quotes.
Example: In the story, it stated that, "The semi-barbaric king had a daughter…"
The quoted section comes directly from the short story and therefore you need to put it in quotes.
