Last semester was all about fundamentals. How do we annotate, read for more meaning, write in MLA. This semester is all about going deeper and reading more. Our focus is on literary devices and how they work across time and genre, specifically symbols, archetypes, and motifs. 

Literary Terms

When we annotate or discuss literature, we need to know what to look for in a specific class or specific type of writing. In math, look for the formulas. In history, look for names and dates, cause and effect. In English, our authors use literary tools or devices to get their point across. We have talked about several: symbolism, archetype, motif, juxtaposition, allegory and so on. If you don't know what's out there- it not only makes annotating and essay writing hard, it can make reading harder than it should be. Here is the list we will focus on this year. There will be time in class to go over terms with a group or with me. Please get a good definition and discuss examples.  (If you want to use or print it: there is a under the drop down Sophomore tab.) THEN- don't forget to STUDY at home. :) Everyone will take the test 2 times. Hopefully, you get a 100% each time. If not, this is your chance to better your score. Each test 100 pts. First

As we discussed with our expository essay, when we annotate we need to know what to look for in a specific class or specific type of writing. In math, look for the formulas. In history, look for names and dates, cause and effect. In English, our authors use literary tools or devices to get their point across. We have talked about several: symbolism, archetype, motif, juxtaposition, allegory and so on. If you don't know what's out there- it not only makes annotating and essay writing hard, it can make reading harder than it should be. Here is the list we will focus on this year. There will be time in class to go over terms with a group. Please get a good definition and discuss examples.  (If you want to use or print it: there is a dictionary button below. There is extra space after each definition for an example or notes. Dictionaries will be available in class.) THEN- don't forget to STUDY at home. :) Everyone will take the test 2 times. Hopefully, you get a 100% each time. If not, this is your chance to better your score. Each test 100 pts.
