Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

High schoolers read the final section of E. B. White’s Death of a Pig and examine the impact of the words and tone he used. In pairs, learners discuss their homework from the previous night, answer questions about the text, and write in their vocabulary journals. They finish by responding to a writing prompt by sharing their thoughts about E.B. White's word choices.
