Description

I just did an overhaul of this unit and created 12 short story stations that include a review of several literary devices, Sensory Imagery, Conflict, Hyperbole, and Symbolism, word wall activity, graphic organizers, constructed responses, and a mini-Socratic seminar. This short story has everything, time travel, a controversial presidential election,and dinosaurs.Ray Bradbury wrapped all of this together in a powerful short story rich with imagery and filled with literary devices. Use this lesson to make the English Literature Standards real for your students. This is now on Google Slides ™.
