• Review essays during attendance to prepare for discussion• Turn in essays (M to review for FCAs)• small group discuss responses to writing/lit question• group puts top 3 responses onto newsprint share w/large group

- metz record on board (bring out microscope prop)- discuss value of analysis, psychology/ethics, putting humans

“under microscope”• What is fiction? – take responses• If it’s all made up, then why should we bother reading it?

- literature transports us- reflective of ourselves, human beings, human condition –

better than any other discipline at helping to answer “Who are we?” or better yet, “Who am I?”

- And this is why we study CHARACTERS! – to get at human condition

- escapist vs. “good” fiction (review genres at attached or link http://www.manuslit.com/old/Definitions.htm

HW: Read “Journal Journey” and write first entry: “Who’s the most interesting character (complicated/complex, maybe good + bad, hard to figure out, etc.) in all the stories you’ve read or films you’ve seen (not TV sit-coms)? Why is that character interesting?”

DAY 6 (LCD projector or Monitor)

points approach if we do a trial run and it’s too much – we may do a full-class teams review + quizzes that are cumulative – i.e. each subsequent quiz includes all previous roots/words)

***suggested Latin Roots option: each student puts a dash (-) to the left of the words they’d like to cover. Each day we’ll call on different

Page 4: MEDIA ARTS - qwurk.com€¦  · Web viewunderline the most vivid/powerful word you used to describe this character. on new sheet of blank paper, write your name at top, name of character

student to “serve up” a root, its meaning, and examples. When each word is covered, students turn their dash into a plus (+) or place a plus where there was no mark. Once we’ve covered enough for a quiz (about 10), we’ll cover the ones with a +. Each quiz will cover the new words plus those previously covered.
