  Phones…out! Let’s Take a Poll!

  Can you travel to all places?  Can you have all experiences?  Do we WANT all experiences? To Have a Window…

  We can learn about ourselves through others’  Actions  Successes  Failures. To Have a Mirror…

  Research shows that our brains work in a certain way ONLY when reading!  It’s like focusing on one muscle group in the weight room. To Flex Our Brains…

  This is like the mirror slide, but…  What is it like to BE someone else?  Race, gender, orientation, class? To Gain Empathy…

  The author’s comment on the human condition.  The LESSON the author wants to teach ALL of humanity.  Universal lesson that is BIGGER than the novel itself.  Theme is NOT a one word answer! THEME!

  Must read at two levels…  At the LITERAL level  Word level  Plot / story level  “What does the author “ SAY ”?  At the INTERPRETIVE level  Symbolic level  Theme level  What does the author “ MEAN ”?  LESSON How Do We Get There?

  How do we find / understand potential THEMES? TWO ESSENTIAL STEPS 1)Observe and track 2)Think and formulate an opinion Two Levels?

  All those literary terms you’ve learned and will learn! What Do We Track?

 Opt-Out Protocol While some texts (novels, short stories, poems, films) may be taught, depending on the class, as a whole-class option, no text is required reading for any student. Should any student desire to be assigned an alternate text to a whole-class text, he or she may request an alternate. At that point, the teacher and student will work together to provide the "least restrictive environment" in which the student can learn the course curriculum whilst still reading the alternate text.
