Past, Present, Future Monday Final Lens & Final Story! Psychological “The Cask of Amontillado” Panel Debate – What’s your diagnosis and why? Summative Fishbowl Discussion Read, annotate, and respond Discuss Wed/Thurs

Short Stories Through a Critical Lens Monday 2. Reading for All Purposes 1. Literary criticism of complex texts requires the use of analysis, interpretive, and evaluative strategies Objective: you will be able to analyze the character Montresor through a psychoanalytical lens. Relevance: By interpreting complex texts, providing evidence, and communicating ideas, we are not only practicing the skills need in any workplace or postsecondary setting, but also we are examining aspects of ourselves and others and how these as well as social and historical events impact the way in which we communicate. By learning to examine situations from different perspectives, we open ourselves to recognizing, understanding, explaining, and judging the ways in which we, as well as others, conduct ourselves, in order to more productively function in an every changing world. Inquiry Questions: What is critical theory? How does one’s perspective influence the reading of a text? How does reading from a particular perspective influence what is seen as important within a text and how characters, events, and theme are understood? What strategies are most useful when reading, understanding, making personal connections to, and analyzing texts ? How is literature a voice of social commentary?
