read “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” 

1. W rite your responses to the reading as you work your way through the story. Select 2-4 places in your reading assignment where you’re going to stop and w rite a reflection in a Reading Log, on notecards, or sticky notes. To encourage you to move beyond simply summarizing, I’m going to ask you to do the following in your reflections:

  • Make predictions: predict what will happen next, supporting your prediction with specific references to the text.
  • Recognize when the author uses literary devices. Analyze the techniques used by the author.
  • Make connections: make connections from either real life or from other books, films, poems, and stories.
  • Make judgments: judge the characteristics and behavior of the characters.
  • Challenge the text: as you read, challenge the author or any of the characters.

Here are some questions you may want to consider:

  • What is this story’s stance on war?
  • Why did Bierce make Farquhar a Southerner and a civilian?
  • What does this story have to say about consciousness?
  • What role does the setting play in the character’s development?

2. Gather your thoughts and reflections into a single document. Your response should be at least two paragraphs in length.
