The Fly 1958 version!

Learning Target

Scholars will continue their reading of The Metamorphosis, analyzing the text for details about the characters and historical context, and then make a "baby book" about Gregor.

Work Session

Hope the PSAT testing wasn’t too much. Today we are going to take the Metamorphosis to another level. We are going to compare contrast the movie The Fly to The Metamorphosis. We are going to use the double-bubble. I want to compare/contrast the two characters of Gregor Samsa and Dr. Andre Delambre from the Fly. How are the same how are they different? How do they experience alienation?

Closing Session

Trade your baby book with a friend to read and write a 1-sentence "blurb" for the cover.

Assessment

Higher order analysis through depth of knowledge.

Differentiation
