LAYERS FOR YOUR FLIPBOOK that will lead to your literary analysis writing. Literal level – Write title and author; give plot; retell the work in your own words. Personal association – Write personal allusions (connect with the text.) What in the work reminds you of something or someone in your life. Remember to explain the association.

Theme – Write out the meaning, the message Theme – Write out the meaning, the message. What do you think the author’s purpose was in writing this work? Separate the work into parts – Take one part (a literary device) and trace it throughout the work.

Literary Associations – What in other works are like or unlike this work? Remember – connect to other things you have read or seen! Judgement – Do I like this work or not? Why or why not? Give reasons. Remember - valid reasons are essential!

Understanding “Theme” To determine the theme of a story, ask yourself, “What does the author want me to learn or know?” Your answer should be a BIG idea that can stand on its own away from the story. Many stories have more than one theme!

Personal Association Connect with what you read! Does what you are reading remind you of something you have done, somewhere you have been, or someone you have known? Always try to relate this story to you and your life!!

Literary Associations Has something happened in what you are reading that reminds you of another novel or story? Can you relate a character in this story to another character in a different story? Is this theme similar to another one?

Good writing to you!!
