Power of the Spoken Word

Hi, Everyone.  I truly enjoyed reading your "a-hah!" moments about what you better comprehended as a result of listening to "Roman Fever."  So, as part of our "audio shorts" continued experiment, I'd like for you to post your thoughts about how listening to "The Lottery" before reading it helped or didn't help your reading comprehension.  Also, let me know what worked for you best re: comprehension:  reading first, then listening ("Roman Fever") OR listening first, then reading ("The Lottery").  Lastly, any other thoughts you have about the recorded version of the story are most welcome. For this assignment you may use the first person.  Please post by Monday, April 11th.
