Guest Lecturing in Brașov

Fulbright ETA Kimber Guinn traveled to Brașov to guest lecture in fellow ETA Kellie Ferguson's Literature class at Transilvania University of Brașov. Students read Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" prior to class. Discussion questions allowed students to understand underlying themes and symbols scattered throughout the story. A comparative analysis of "The Lottery" to Suzanne Collins' 2008 book The Hunger Games created a connecting link between the two literary sources. Finally, students participated in a mock lottery, acting out the process, adhering to the short story's procedure.
