 READ the STory in the TEXT!!!!!! The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins -Gillman 
 On Tuesday, 11/1,  I plan to go into a lecture that will be followed by a fishbowl____________________________________________________________

NOTE: We will go over the story in class and follow up with a lecture on both Perkins- Gillman  and themes presented in "The Yellow Wallpaper:" This will tie into our oppression theme that will permeate our short story unit. We will see oppression in many forms reflected in subsequent works such as in Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" and " White Woman of Color" by Julie Alvarez.  

In addition, I plan to incorporate an excerpt from "The Feminie Mystique" in Friedan's essay titled "The Problem That Has No Name" Published in 1963________________________________________________________________________________
