2. Inverted Pyramid Structure and Types of Leads

3. Fairy Tale Lead Activity: Report Out

4. ICB Focus Questions
  • Why would Perry choose to purchase stockings from a nun?  What is this detail telling us about his character?
  • Note Willie-Jay's description of Perry.  How is Capote playing with the readers' emotions?
  • To what extent is Perry a tragic hero?
  • On page 46, how does an act of fate change Perry's future?
  • How do we feel about Perry's 'confession' about killing the“colored” man with a bicycle chain on pages 53-56?


HW Discussion Questions:

  • Read to Page 96
  •  In your English Folder: jot down  five questions you would like to discuss with your group.  They could be questions that came to your mind while reading, questions you’d like to ask the author, questions you’d like to investigate, or any other questions you think the group might like to discuss.  You will need to have a written answer for one of them that is at least one paragraph.

  1. Straight: Jack and Jill found dead today at The bottom of a cliff, police investigating suspicion of intoxication as a possible link.

    Descriptive: police officer Brandon was in a state of shock after finding the bodies of two young individuals bled out after falling off a cliff.

    Quotation: "they had a blood alcohol level of 2.0" officer Brandon stated at the scene of the crime.

    Question: how are minors getting alcohol these days? Officers question this as they investigate the bodies of jack and Jill.

    Quotation: "she was going to eat me, both of us! What else could I do?" A quote from Hansel as he exited the woods

    Question: What happens when your darkest nightmares become your reality? Two young kids found that out this weekend in fantasy forest.

  3. Straight lead- Sunday afternoon there were three little pigs who kept building houses in the woods because they all cooked meth but the big bad wolf kept blowing them down because he wanted to steal the meth.
    Descriptive lead- The wolf smelled the meth cooking from the pigs house. So he took a big breath and blew down the pigs house down. The pigs ran off with their meth.
    Quotation lead- "Those stupid pigs, I want that darn meth and I'm going to do whatever I need to do to get it."
    Question lead- Will the wolf ever get the meth? Or will the pigs get millions of dollars by selling all the meth? Or the real question where is Walter White and why hasn't he killed the wolf yet?

    A wolf was found dead in a pot of boiling water this morning at 11 a.m. in a red brick house. Witnesses say that he was seen blowing two little pigs houses. None of the pigs were injured.

    The thick smell of stew meat in the air. Two little brother pigs one distraught, one shocked after the first two's houses were blown down and they fled to their 3rd brother's house. Then in a twist of events the vandal wolf ended up in a boiling pot of water.

    "It just happened so fast murmured the first pig" I was just minding my own business in my straw house and I heard a big gust of wind and it was gone."

    How would you feel if you had your house blown over by a big bad wolf?
