AP Lit: Narrative Fiction 1/3

In this unit we read several theme-related texts which they will use to analyze narrative elements including:
  • Characterization
  • Structure (Plot and Paragraphing)
  • Narrative Voice
  • Setting
It is crucial that students not just identify these elements, but make inferences and assertions they can support with textual evidence regarding the EFFECT of these techniques on the reader. In other words, why should we care about how the author develops these elements of narrative?

Most importantly, we will be refining our ability as writers by: refining our Claims with the "They Say/I Say" approach.
