Once Upon A Time

1. Check books and review vocab

2. What were you dreaming continued:

• Read the last section aloud. Significance of the title comes into focus. What does it mean? What does it signify?
• The final line: what lasting impression does it leave the reader with? What does it reveal about the woman?
• What themes are present in this story?
  

3. Once upon an in-class writing:

What I'm looking for

• A rough draft
• A clear and crisp thesis
• Cohesive and varied sentences
• A logical and organized structure that shows you are going somewhere with your ideas
  
• Evidence that comes in the form of direct citation OR paraphrase
• Remember: this is a short (much shorter) in-class response. Think of this as a mini-writing on the spectrum of the work you've produced this year. You can do it!
  

Looking back at the text, in what ways does Gordimer hint at the eventual outcome of the story? In other words, in what ways is the ending predictable?
