Do Now: You are taking yourself out for the perfect meal. Where are you going and what are you ordering?
A Pair of Silk Stockings:

Mrs. Summers touches the silk stockings, and all her carefully laid plans disappear.
1. What does she do and how does she feel at the end of her day devoted entirely to pleasing herself?
2. What motivates her?
3. How does the historical context of this story help you to understand Mrs. Summers?
4. Evaluate her character.
Homework:  You have found $200.00. You have decided to spend it to create a perfect day for yourself. What will you do? Create a description of your perfect day and what each thing you purchase or do will cost. You cannot spend more than the $200.00 you've found. You must spend it all. You may make a list or write in paragraphs.
