This year we will build a literary term reference guide in class authored by the students in this class. For each term, the student responsible for the assigned term will need to find a symbolic graphic or picture to help his classmates anchor the term in their brains. The student will need to define the term and give two examples of the term in action. One of the examples needs to come from a play, novel, short story, or poem we are studying in class. The other example should be crafted by the writer herself. I have posted an example of what the finished product should look like when you are done. Each student is responsible for posting two terms for the first quarter. After that, we will move on. Here is a list of the terms.
