ANALYSIS BOOT CAMP FALL IN, SOLDIERS!

ANALYSIS How many of you have seen/heard this word before? In the simplest terms, ANALYSIS is a conclusion that you draw based on the EVIDENCE that you have on hand. So how is that different from a summary?

5 W’s and 1 H (Remember Children’s Picture Book Assignment) SUMMARY = Who, What, When & Where (Just retelling what you read or saw) ANALYSIS = Why & How (… did the author/filmmaker do what they did?)

HOW TO ANALYZE BOOKS AND STUFF To conduct an ANALYSIS, one must go beyond what the story is about to HOW THE STORY IS WRITTEN and WHY. How does the author’s writing fulfill his/her purpose? How does the text create meaning? Why did the author make the choices he/she did? How effective are the author’s choices? Why?

HOW THE WRITING FULFILLS THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE: Things to consider about the WRITING… Literary Elements: How does the author use characterization, setting, plot, point of view, tone, genre? Imagery: What details does the author include? What figurative language is used? Why? Word Choice (Diction): Does the author use big words? Why must he/she do that? Connotation? Sentence Structure (Syntax): Does the author write in really long dramatic sentences? Or does he/she prefer short, lean ones? Why did he/she make that choice? Organization: How has the author organized his/her information? Does it help or hurt the message he/she’s trying to communicate?

HOW THE WRITING FULFILLS THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE: Things to consider about AUTHOR’S PURPOSE: For nonfiction: What is the author’s purpose? To persuade? Inform? Critique? What is the theme of the story? How does the writing contribute to that theme? How does the writing illustrate the author’s main point?

HOW TO ANALYZE IN TWO EASY STEPS Step 1: Observe What patterns do you notice? What literary devices are used? What is emphasized? What words stand out? What organizational structures are used? Step 2: Interpret and Connect What is the effect? What does it add to the story as a whole? Why did the author make that choice? How does it fulfill the author’s purpose?

TO SUMMARIZE (GET IT?) SUMMARY = What the story says! Setting Plot Characters ANALYSIS =How the author says it and WHY! Literary Elements Style Organization

REMEMBER… Be potato pickers, not tomato pickers!

AND FINALLY… Be specific! Give specific examples from the text!
