Dystopia Day 4

When you enter class… Pick up three items at the front of the room Take out your BNW Historical Context and Vocab Packet

Today Warm-up: Vocab PPT Ad analysis Theme notes Annotation Guide Annotation practice with 1984 / BNW quotes HW: 1. BNW Ending Annotation

Louis Vuitton ad Why did LV choose this image to try and sell their products? How can the analytical “moves” help us figure this out? What is the implied message of this ad?

Implied messages = themes Today we will focus on what themes are and how we can discover them by using the same “moves” that we used to understand an advertisement.

Key Questions Context: Why did the authors write these books? Interpretation: What do their works communicate to readers? Connection: Why do we still read them today?

Theme The central idea or message conveyed in a piece of writing or other work of art.

Themes are… Universal – Themes apply outside the world of the story. Statements – A theme is written as a full sentence.

Themes are NOT… Single words Love Short phrases Innocence of youth Too general Corruption is wrong. Clichés Love is blind. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Advice You should…

Example Love can take us beyond the restrictions set by society. Romeo and Juliet

Example It’s wrong to destroy something innocent and beautiful, something that only brings good to the world. To Kill a Mockingbird

True courage is in fighting a battle that was lost from the beginning, but fighting it just the same because it’s the right thing to do. To Kill a Mockingbird

How do we find the theme? Where do we look in the text?

Important Passages Practice annotating while digging into some important passages from 1984 and BNW. In a word, what are each of these passages about? What does the passage suggest about the topic?
