Today’s Goal: Prepare to analyze an historical fiction short story, “The Dog of Pompeii.” Outcomes for this entire week in Lit: Use context clues (title, graphics, first paragraph) to predict outcome. Define the term “historical fiction” and name several examples. Define anthropomorphism and identify examples. Define imagery and identify examples. Use context clues to infer character traits. Define foreshadowing and identify examples. Define simile and identify examples. Evaluate a short story to discover the author’s theme.

Starter #1: In 1980, one portion of our country experienced a dramatic geoslogical event. A mountain range that was considered a “sleeping volcano” was about to “awaken.” Does anyone know what mountain in the U.S. turned into a live volcano? It just so happens that my very first teaching job was in Portland, Oregon, and the window of my classroom in Portland, Oregon, faced Mount St. Helens (in Washington state). . . .

In the distance I could see this. . . . Up close, I would have seen this. . . .

Starter #1: Yesterday we began reading an historical fiction short story, “The Dog of Pompeii.” What do we mean by the term, “historical fiction”? An historical fiction story is a fictional account in which the setting (time period and place) is based on an actual historical event. The characters are fiction and so is the plot (the story line). But the setting—the historical backdrop—is a real event in history. As we continue to read “The Dog of Pompeii,” ask yourself, “What portions of this story are true? What aspects (parts) of the story are purely fiction? Let’s locate where we left off yesterday. Who wants to start us off in summarizing what we have read so far?

Cornell Notes on “Terms in Literature” 1. Define historical fiction. 2. What are “credible characters”? 3. Define anthropomorphism. 4. What is “imagery”? 1. A fictional story in which the setting (time period and place) is based on a real historical event. The characters are fiction and so is the plot, but the setting is a real event in history. 2. Fictional characters who are portrayed so authentically (realistically) that they seem like real living characters. 3. Giving human characteristics and traits to a non-human creature. 4. When an author uses language that appeals to our five senses.

Cornell Notes on “Terms in Literature” 5. Define foreshadowing. 6. What is a “simile”? Give examples. 7. Explain what is meant by the term “inference.” 8. What is an “idiom”? 5. When the author purposely drops clues that hint at what may happen. 6. A comparison using the word like or as: * The column of smoke was thickening and blackening like a shadowy tree. * The jars of Vesuvian wine were as fiery as the inside of a volcano. 7. Using clues from the story to figure out what the author does not tell you explicitly: It may be a prediction, or it may offers more information. 8. An expression or figure of speech that makes sense to people in a particular group or culture but would be confusing to others. [He “kicked the bucket.”]

Cornell Notes on “Terms in Literature” 9. What is “figurative language”? 10. What are “text features”? Give examples. 11. Explain what is meant by the term “theme” in literature. 9. An imaginative (creative) way to make comparisons between seemingly unlike things. Those expressions are not literally true: They are figures of speech. 10. Anything in the text (printed material) that helps the reader gain better understanding—titles, sub-titles, illustrations (photos, artwork), captions, call-outs, sidebars, footnotes. 11. An insight about life or human nature that you gained after reading a story.
