Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" is the anchor text for a lesson that teaches young readers how to use the Tip of the Iceberg strategy to go below the surface of a tale. After reading the short story and an article about the dangers of tradition, scholars create a petition for either a new school tradition or the removal of an old one.
