Leftovers . . .
Homework: A. What would you expect to find in a haunted house? List at least 20 items.
Having trouble? Check this site: http://www.virtualsalt.com/gothic.htm
B. Think about it. Why do these items scare people? Select one to research. Find out the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the item. What is the history? Where did the "fear" begin? This should be at least one page in length. Cite your sources. This is due Tuesday.
What scares you? It is normal to have at least 2 or possible 3 fears. (Discussion)
Why do these things frighten you?
Is there a grain of truth in the fear - a reason for you to have the fear?
What horror movies have you seen? Why do people go to horror movies anyway? Why do we humans seem to enjoy a safe scare?

Read at least two articles and then summarize the information in three paragraphs. You may locate other articles. Include your source. Post in CANVAS by Tuesday.
Over the weekend, you need to watch a horror movie and read a scary story. (More information will be given on Thursday.) Let's discuss possibilities.
Class Activity
In class, you will listen to a folktale that originated in Afganastan. The selection is from And the Mountains Echoed, a book by Khaled Hosseini. He also wrote The Kite Runner. As you listen to the folktale, draw the monster and add additional information about where the monster lives and what the monster does. Add notes to explain. Paper and markers will be provided. Feel free to add notes to your illustration.
