Teaching Literary Elements

I will be sharing with you how Composition and Literature is taught at my school. There may be links to Google Documents where there will be rubrics/worksheet along with worksheet answer keys as well. There also maybe a couple presentations thrown in as well. This first post will be all about how I teach Literary Elements which leads into our Short Story Unit. 

Point of View


I do encourage students to take organized, good notes on any presentations in class. 

Setting


I print this off and hand to students while I talk through the sheet.

Theme


I do the same thing that I do with setting with theme. 

Plot


Characters


Figurative Language


Figurative Language Writing Rubric

The assignment I give my students after doing all the presentations is a paper where they use the tactics they learned in a paper. I hand out a rubric with everything they need to have along with me verbally explaining the assignment.
