@EdTechSandyK posted a great link to a blog article offering a strategy for helping students reading "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. Awesome stuff!
The teacher in the article had her students participate in a lottery similar to the one in Jackson's short story. The student with the black dot by his or her name was "stoned" with crumpled up papers. She then had her students write a brief reflection on their experience during this lesson. She posted their responses and they are very thoughtful.
Not necessarily a tech lesson, but a creative way to get kids thinking about a story from a personal point of view!
