WRITING THE NEWS STORY STRUCTURE: (45 min)The events of the novel have taken a very dramatic turn after chapters of smoldering energy. Of all the information we have gleaned in the last several chapters, what would people be most likely to gossip about? Divide students into groups of three or four. Each group is going to create a tabloid—some form of gossip journalism—detailing the events of the novel. They might choose any form—a magazine tabloid à la Us or InTouch; a website like TMZ; a video or audio broadcast—but the piece should have a gossipy tone and cover the major events of the last four chapters especially. Students should consider what a gossip journalist would really know: as readers, we've been privy to the inside of Jack's head and his insider knowledge of Willie, but some news might not have come out. Also, are gossip journalists always right? Consider how they might have gotten some of this news wrong. Give students about 35 minutes to create their gossip pieces, then have them present to the class. ASSESSMENT IDEAS: Allow students to leave comments on each other's pieces "in character"—that is, as people responding to the gossip—and track responses. SAMPLE STORY LEADS – CHAPTER 5 Willie threatened Judge Irwin in Chapter 1. Why has it taken so long for the threat to return to Jack's narrative? How does Willie's assertion that good must be made out of badness (because there is no other choice) relate to his other views and the broader philosophical bent of the novel thus far? Why does Adam ultimately make the choice to lead the hospital? How does the text suggest Jack feels about the evidence he's found on Judge Irwin? Does Anne like Willie? Does she respect him?
