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
