Hi Everyone,
This assignment is due no later than 22:00 on Saturday night. Remember: Not doing this assignment on time is the same as missing a lesson.

Here is an article which gives you some background about Saki, the author of The Open Window, and about the time period in which the story was written. Please read the article ( using your dictionary to help you understand words which are new for you) : http://www.storybites.com/sakiwindow2.htm and answer the following questions -

1. Which information in the article adds to your understanding of the story?
2. Does knowing this information help you enjoy the story? Why? or Why not?
3. Do you think that knowing more information (about Saki or the time period) than is
included in this article would help you enjoy or understand the story more? Why?

After you answer the questions, read the answers other students wrote, and react to what one other student has written.

See you in class on Sunday!
