lesson 7: The Heart of the journey
We are knee-deep in Unit 2! In fact, we are half way through it!
Many students are finished with their novels at this point, as well as the 'Text Analysis Graphic Organizer.'
If you are not, please continue to read your novel and fill out the graphic organizer.
When you are done with the graphic organizer, hold on to it! It will be submitted in a drop box in lesson 10.
We have spent a considerable amount of time in both units studying literature. Important concepts like character, plot, and conflict. When we study all of these elements in a novel (or even a movie) we are beginning to analyze the theme of the work.
This lesson offers an overview of how to think about theme.
