Today – 11.28.16 MYP Standard: Objective A, Strand 1 How well can I analyze the content, context, language, structure, technique and style of the text and the relationships among texts studied? WHY: We are now advancing our annotations to take an analytical look at different texts.

Analytical Annotations Hopefully you will start to notice patterns Many elements can fit under several different categories – up to you how you sort and explain them These are VERY important notes- this skill is used the REST of the year.
Content When analyzing content, you should examine: Personal Connection Plot Plot Diagram Plot Flaws Major Events Characterization Comprehension Meaning Purpose
Context When analyzing context, you should examine: Connections to the author’s real life Social issues at the time of writing What was going on in the world when the piece was written? What background knowledge do I need to know? What are the main events surrounding the time period and the specific story?
Language When analyzing language, you should examine: Word Choice! Professional language? Formal? Informal? Description – imagery? Metaphors? Symbols? Dialogue? (What does it reveal about the characters or the people involved?) Body language? Stage directions and cues?
Structure When analyzing structure, you should examine: What does the text LOOK like? Lots of dialogue? No dialogue? Paragraphs? Proper spacing? Intentional mistakes? Uncommon use of space?

Relationships Among Texts Text-Text Connections What connection can you make between what you are annotating NOW and what you have read in the past?
Today Starting with ADVANCED work It is EASIER to analytically annotate fiction pieces, but today we are starting with a NON- FICTION piece Annotate the best you can. Make sure that you are labeling those annotations. Tomorrow, I will show you my version and we will compare/contrast and reflect.
