Lesson Objectives - Students will use their Collections textbook to find usable quotes from the essay "What is the Horror Genre?" for the upcoming Performances Task.  They will then apply the concepts of foreshadowing, suspense, sensory details, and mood to the short story "Golden Glass" as they turn it into an example of the horror genre.  Groups will present their ideas to the class.
