Comparing "Games at Twilight" to "The Scream"

Please brainstorm one topic that these stories have in common. Think, for example, about what both authors teach/argue, show about Children? Siblings? Parents?  Games? Loyalty?

• Create a thesis that compares the two pieces and talks about a universal lesson; you can use this template if you’d like: Both these texts demonstrate that an argument, a big idea is true about [topic]; they suggest that we should __________ [what authors want to change or help us learn].

• Introduce the quotes by discussing the literal level of the quote--
• summarize the situation of the quote to help us see your reading comprehension.
• Include the person who said it and what the subject of the quote is. 
• After explaining each quote, try to analyze the quote--think about how the author writes it.

Try to make a connection between the way the quote is written and the message the quote has.
• Close with an idea about how this topic plays out in the real world; can you think of a real-world example?
