Coming Soon: Unit 2
Identify important cinematic techniques and analyze their effects
Transform a text into a new genre
Identify specific elements of an author’s style
Develop an awareness of reading strategies to enhance comprehension
- Analyze the elements of fiction–setting, plot, character, theme–and the steps in plot development– exposition, complications, climax, falling action, resolution (denouement)
In their next assessment, to demonstrate their mastery of these skills, students will create a storyboard, transforming a scene from their independent reading novel into a visual depiction. They will also explain how they used/would use cinematic elements to enhance their story. To the right is the rubric for this assignment, the first test grade of the 2nd Nine Weeks.
