You were to have read "Shining Houses" as homework. You will be placed in pairs to answer a series of questions relating to this story. Use your time wisely. I have posted the questions below:

9. Brainstorm and come up with three possible outcomes for this situation (what will follow- how will the issue being addressed eventually resolve itself).
10. Why did the author pick this title?
11. What is the author’s theme? How does it tie in with the documentary we watched on human nature or reactions?
