Manipulating Tone

Tone, of the emotional weight of a poem, is difficult for many high schools students to apprehend, in part because they\u27ve had little practice, and in part because they have a limited affective vocabulary. One way to work successfully with tone is to ask students to create it for themselves by modeling--but in opposition--the work of a poet, in this case, Edgar Lee Masters

Practicing Ethos, Pathos and Logos

This is a light-hearted follow-up activity to an introduction to the three rhetorical modes, ethos, pathos and logos. Designed for sophomore, though adaptable, this activity asks students to find creative ways to use the three modes to make an absurd case

The 15-Minute Short Story

This assignment requires students to write an introduction to a “pretend” anthology of short stories. Given at the beginning of the short story unit so as to focus their reading, the prompt directs them to examine several introductions to anthologies in the library in order to see what it is that anthologizers talk about; to determine the principle on which to choose stories; to find the right voice; and to critique three stories from the faux anthology to demonstrate their aptness for the collection as well as the students’ own understanding of the characteristics of good short story writing

Thesis Group Activity

 This is not an introduction to the thesis statement, but serves well as a second or reinforcing lesson. This activity asks students to practice, in the comfort of a group, drawing out and expressing complete, coherent statements from an essay. These statements will be in four areas of criticism: intention, tone, world view and skill; the teams of students will shape these statements into theses. This activity requires one entire class of at least 60 minutes

Chaucerian Self-Portrait

There is no better way to understand how an author uses language than to attempt to use language in the same way. This activity challenges students to observe in Chaucer\u27s descriptions of his Pilgrims the wealth and significance of detail and to create a portrait of themslves that is similarly rich in evoking personality
