WHAT I AM LEARNING?

 

I AM LEARNING TO examine texts from different perspectives so that I can uncover layers of meaning.

 

HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE MET THE GOAL?

  • I can identify the narrative elements and devices
  • I can read for the purpose of analysing the features of a text
  • I can identify the perspectives, ideas, experiences, and beliefs in a text.
  • I can identify how my understanding of a text might be altered depending on the lens applied;
  • I can apply one theory to a text to construct meaning from that text.

The strategies I am using to meet the success criteria and goal include:

  • setting a purpose question
  • annotating the text
  • making reader’s notes
  • using class notes/handouts and my knowledge of narrative elements, literary devices, and literary theory 

 

Evidence of Learning Document: Midterm Edition Day 5

Evidence of learning….Day 5. 

Deadline tonight at 11:59:59

Please check your email regularly from today right through to Monday. As I go through your document, I may need clarification or you may need to revise a mark. I will email you as I work through the document. If I don’t get replies, your mark will likely be impacted. 

There is some confusion about this overall expectation. This is a reading expectation. Sometimes we might assess our reading through writing. Other times we can assess our reading using other means like a conversation, a product (infographic or storyboard), or a graphic organizer. 

This expectation should have more clearly indicated that the evidence of learning was the graphic organizer for “On the Rainy River”. If you have already written an analyis, that’s fine. Make sure when you assess using rows #2 and #4 that you are not letting your writing interfere with what you are saying (your analysis) about the story. This expectation is evaluating your skill at “interpreting…and explaining how your understanding of literary theory helped you interpret a theme”. 

And if you haven’t written an analysis, submit your completed chart. Again make sure you are not summarizing, but that you are providing analysis.
