Introduction to Literary Analysis (Debbie Goodale)

Literary analysis is taught through various skills: annotating, how to infer themes, identifying and learning how authors use literary devices to enrich meaning, character analysis, and identifying the narrative elements that make a story. These skills when practiced will help students grow in their capacity to read complex text. Socratic circles and learning how to question the text is another essential higher level reading skill.  Writing will be an essential component as students learn how to support their assertions about the text through strong textual evidence.
