LITERARY GENRES:REALISTIC AND HISTORICAL FICTION

Dear students,

I have a compilation of tutorials of both literary genres. Watch the videos and then make a Venn diagram to compare both.

NUMBER THE STARS BY LOIS LOWRY

THANK YOU, MA´M By Langston Hughes

Get a piece of the short story we are going to read in the second term. Mrs. Louella Bates Washington Jones gives a lesson to a street boy who pretended to snatch her purse.

LITERARY ELEMENT:Symbolism

Symbolism is the largest abstract representation of an idea. For some cultures, trees represent birth, death or life. The Nazi Party used the Swastika to represent their principles that ruled Germany under the regime of the Fuhrer  from 1939 to 1945.

Watch the video and grab some ideas about how to start designing your own symbol-the one that will represent your personality and principles of living.

LITERARY ELEMENT: Conflict

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CONFLICT

It is the struggle between two opposite forces. It can be Internal or External. Internal conflict is the problem that a man has with himself – Insecurity, jelousy, envy. External conflict deals with outside forces. Man against man or man against environment- hate for others, feeling cold in the arctic, or simply quarrels on daily errands.

Watch the video about CONFLICT and download and read the file about Conflict. Answer the multiple choice exercise and send it to mr.mrtz for extra credit tickets. You can send it to mr.mrtz@hotmail.com or you may want to use this blog in the link “Students homework ONLINE”.conlfict definition and examples

WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG!

Hi up there dear students,

Having new ideas to come up with new information on our blog motivated me to keep on tracking our communication and homework revision. This Blog will be a useful tool to keep in touch and informed about  the different class activities that will be taking place in our teaching learning process. I only hope to fulfill my expectations.
