If you read "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov this week, here's a project that will replace the message board for the final set of stories.
Step One: Read the story. You've already done this at least once. Do it again at least once more.
Step Two: Watch this episode of TV's Twilight Zone. As you watch, note the similarities and differences between Rod Serling's script and Anton Chekhov's short story. It may take a minute or so before the video begins. Be patient.
Step Three: Complete a Venn Diagram citing the differences and similarities between the two. Either make two overlapping circles or three columns. Label the far-left section/column: Chekhov/"The Bet", the far-right section/column: "Twilight Zone/"The Silence", and the center section/column: Both.
Shallow differences like "Anton Chekhov" = written and "Twilight Zone" = TV are not acceptable.
Meaningless similarities like both titles begin with The or printing and video are both black and white are also not acceptable.
