Aim:
thinking: to get the students to reflect on the ENV text and elaborate it on the basis of analysing the text 'Love Story';

subject specific: to develop the text analysis skills by applying the ENV text

Glossary: ENV text = the system of parameters, values and procedures used as an algorithm to describe a text)

Materials:  Love Story by Eric Segul

 

This is the last but one lesson of the year, so we decided that we will take a new text and will analyse it using the ENV text that has been developed throughout the course. The students were supposed to to review

PROCEDURE:

a)    At home they had to elaborate their ENV text: explain which parameters of a  text  you have selected, choose one of the parameters and analyse it
Version 1 (if all have chosen one – group them and get to learn from eaxh other and summarise)
Version 2 (if different) – start to get them to tell what they chose and how analysed

Summarise: what you have learned about the text ; about using the model
Vocab = eye the cheese – look at a beuatiful woman; amble = stroll; cut to ribbons; endemic – belonging to; bail out – extricate from a difficult situation; pithy (pithi)
brief, forceful, and meaningful in expression; full of vigor, flagrant - shockingly noticeable or evident; obvious; glaring: a flagrant error.
2. notorious; scandalous: a flagrant crime; a flagrant offender.
3. Archaic . blazing, burning, or glowing; quibble - to evade the truth or importance of an issue by raising trivial distinctions and objections; to find fault or criticize for petty reasons; cavil.
Analysis:
e.g. POV: first person narrator=the protagonist, a student, young man, from a rich famil (studies in harvard = prestigious), likes to look at beautiful women, uses slang, is not quite serious with studies – a typical student (last pre-exam  night); not without a sesne of humour; studies history; )
Means of characterisation – nicknames; epithets; speech; behaviour; attitude;
Setting – how does this influence the plot? Plot: first meeting, first impression, first date.
Organisation: introduction – setting – reconstruction of the event, surprise element, unpredictable ending; language: slang, colloquial, that of mockery.

Discuss: an ideal tool: content (short but comprehensive), format (user-friendly) any layout: grid, list, spidogram, pizza, bar graph etc.

Homework:
a)    reflect on how you did the task (first devised parameters or values or started to analyse from the text) how and what you improved in the model
