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
