What we'll do: Read "Hills Like White Elephants" and discuss characters, setting, point of view and imagery. Sample questions: How is the story being told? Why? Is there anything confusing about how it is presented? What is going on with the characters? Who are they? Where are they going? What is the conflict between them? What is the setting? Does the setting represent anything?
After reading: Students will draw the setting, take a photo of it and post it to their blogs, and then reflect in a brief paragraph their thoughts about the characters. How do you feel about this man and woman? How do you feel about the situation they are involved in?
