"The Yellow Wallpaper" - Oct 28

"The Yellow Wallpaper" - October 29, 2018

Things to remember about this text:

Charlotte Perkins Gilman is the author NOT the narrator
The narrator doesn't have a name
The narrator's husband is John and her sister in law is Jennie
The narrator recently had a baby
The narrator was diagnosed with hysteria and prescribed the rest cure to help her
This is historical fiction, which means it's based on real history, but the events in the story are fake

Clear Target (Oct 29): I can rate provided evidence in order to evaluate its ability to support theme, ideas, and text structure.

Warm Up (October 29): Since you know why Gilman wanted to write this story and you have an understanding of the Victorian Era, do you think the narrator is legitimately crazy, or were the circumstances to blame?

Write your answer in your journal and then share your thoughts for 2 minutes with a shoulder partner.
