Before Class Preparation 1. Each student will need a file folder. 2. Copy the pockets for theme, symbol, motif, setting, and character. I

print them on different colors. I have made them wide enough for the card, but not as tall so students can pull the cards out easily.

3. Each student will need at least 25 3x5 notecards. I have also included a cutting sheet in case you do not want to buy index cards. Instead you can copy and cut card stock to this size.

4. Copy Project Directions for each student.

Presenting Project 5. Pass out materials for students: folder, 1 of each pocket, 25 3x5 cards,

project directions. 6. I highly recommend that you make a model for students. I’ve

included pictures of mine to help. 7. Cut and tape the pockets onto the inside of the folder on the sides and

bottom. 8. Present project instructions for students. I have students write on the

line for each pocket their choice and staple in the directions and How to Write a Literary Analysis Based on a Quote.

How to fill out the cards 9. I have included a 1 page aide to show students how to correctly fill out

their cards and how to write an analysis on the back of the card. 10. Review with students.

Suggested Post-Project Activities 11. After reading, students have now collected many pieces of evidence.

If you wish, you could have them write a literary analysis paper using their folder.

12. I have also had students do a Socratic Seminar midway through and at the end of the novel.

13. I also have students do small group discussions based on their choices for theme, symbol, etc. They discuss their thoughts for about 15 minutes and then we move to the next category.

Time: I have my students do this over the course of a novel. I usually set my own deadlines for students to stay on track.

Common Core Anchor Standards for Reading: CCRA.R.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. CCRA.R.2 Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. CCRA.R.3 Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. CCRA.R.4 Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone. CCRA.R.5 Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g., a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.

Objective: Students will identify and analyze a larger work (novel, epic poem,

play) for theme, symbols, motifs, setting, and character development by collecting quotes and writing literary analysis paragraphs connected

to the quote.

Literary Analysis Folder Project DirectionsDuring the reading of the novel, you will be collecting quotes and writing short analysis of evidence on 3 x 5 cards and placing them in your folder in the following categories: theme, motif, symbol, character, and setting. You will be collecting a different number of quotes per topic. You will have several choices to choose from for each category.

Setting often has connections to a theme, symbol, or motif.

For each setting listed, find a quote that explains its influence and connection to a theme, symbol, or

motif.

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. Choose one theme to focus on.

Find 9 Quotes and explain how it relates to your theme.

Motifs are recurring structures, contrasts, and literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s

major themes. Choose one motif to focus on.

Find 3 quotes and explain how it has a deeper meaning and connects to the novel on the whole.

Symbols are objects, characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. Choose

one symbol to focus on.

Find 3 quotes and explain how it relates to your symbol.

Characters often have distinct traits the connect to a theme, symbol, or motif. Choose one character to

focus on.

Prejudice

p. 288

“I think there is just one kind of folks. Folks.”

In the novel, Atticus continuously attempts to teach equality to his children. In this quote,

Scout is echoing this sentiment. But it completely ignores the prejudice that Tom

Robinson, Boo Radley, and the Ewell’s experience in their everyday lives. Prejudice exists, but Scout doesn’t see it. This further

exemplifies her innocence and inability to see clearly what is happening. It is another example of how Scout is an unreliable

narrator.

Put your chosen theme, symbol, motif, character setting at

the top.

Quote

Page number.

Your quote analysis should explain the

connection between the quote and the category theme,

symbol, or motif. It is not just a summary or

restatement. You need to make

connections to the novel on the whole.

Then evaluate its effect on the novel.
