The Lottery

Welcome to "Introduction to Critical Thought 1."

During this course, we will attempt to answer the following question:

How do we know when it's time to change?

There will be weekly modules (the first is below), with various activities that you can start now and will be due by 9pm next Sunday, November 23rd. At that point, the 2nd of 3 modules will become available on this page. To do this, we will read Shirley Jackson's classic short story, "The Lottery." We will also watch videos, view illustrations, participate in discussions, and respond in writing to questions about the story.
