Unit 1: Introduction to Critical Reading and Writing about
Literature
Lesson 1: Reading with your pen: “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh”
by Ray Bradbury
Read this quotation. What do you think Pullman means by
this? In what ways do you agree and disagree? Why?
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are
the thing we need most in the world.”
Our first unit this year will set a foundation for reading
and writing. We will be using short stories to model reading critically and
writing about reading. Today we will be reading a story called “The Drummer of
Shiloh” by Ray Bradbury. As I read it aloud to you, underline and take notes on
important parts of the story. This is called “reading with your pen.”
After, we will share how you went about taking notes.
