2. Vladimir Propp's concept of character archetypes in narratives, such as the hero, villain, helper, donor, princess, dispatcher, and false hero.
3. Roland Barthes' concepts of the hermeneutic (enigma) code and proairetic (action) code that create mystery and suspense in narratives.

This document provides an overview of semiotics and rhetorical analysis from a critical media studies perspective. It begins by defining rhetoric as the use of symbols to influence others and discusses how rhetorical scholars analyze texts to understand how they encourage certain attitudes and actions in audiences. It then contrasts the classical rhetorical approach focused on persuasion with the critical media studies version, which views any text as rhetorical and analyzes the explicit and implicit ways texts influence behavior and thinking. The document proceeds to discuss key concepts in semiotics analysis including signs, signifiers, signifieds, denotation, connotation, and interpreting texts as webs of signs. It emphasizes that meaning is constructed through language and media and reveals underlying power structures.
Stuart Hall was a leading 20th century sociological thinker known for his work in cultural studies and media theory. He rejected the idea that a text has a single, inherent meaning, arguing instead that meaning is constructed differently by different audiences based on their social and cultural backgrounds. Hall developed the encoding/decoding model to explain how meaning is encoded into a text by its producer but then decoded and interpreted differently by audiences. The film Kidulthood is used to illustrate how Hall's theories can analyze how different audiences may construct different meanings from the same media text.

Structuralist literary criticism examines the underlying structures and patterns within a work, such as binary oppositions, narrative frameworks, symbolism, and character archetypes. It pays close attention to language and seeks to uncover cultural and symbolic meanings. For example, in analyzing Romeo and Juliet, structuralist critics may look at the binary opposition of love/hate, the five-act narrative structure, symbols like the balcony, character archetypes of the passionate lover and innocent heroine, and how the language conveys deeper themes of fate, consequences, and societal pressures. The goal is to interpret the text through its deep underlying structures and patterns rather than surface details alone.
This lesson provides historical context for the 1930s setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Students will take a vocabulary quiz and reading quiz. They will then learn about the Jim Crow era through a Springboard excerpt and group discussion. The lesson aims to explain the racism and poverty prevalent in the 1930s to understand the novel.

Let’s look at
how comics are
read...
15. How to Read Comics and the English
Classroom
Essential publication by Scott
McCloud (1993) that theorizes and
explains the definition of comics and
how comic books function based on
their parts.
Reading Direction
Panel Transitions
Gutter and Closure
Time, Space, and Movement
Lines, Color, Word Balloons, and
Mood
16. Reading
Directions
In Western comic books we
tend to read in a zigzag pattern
in which we read from left-to-
right, top-to-bottom.
With this pattern comes about
six different panel-to-panel
transitions that Scott McCloud
lays out.
● Moment-to-moment
● Action-to-Action
● Subject-to-Subject
● Scene-to-scene
● Aspect-to-aspect
● Non-sequiter
17. Moment-to-
Moment
Typically focuses on
one action that is
portrayed in successive
moments.
Example that McCloud
uses is the blink of an
eye (i.e. closed,
halfway open, fully
open broken up into
three distinct panels.
19. Action-to-
Action
Focuses on one subject
and action that is
portrayed in successive
moments.
Example that McCloud
uses is that of a
baseball player
swinging a bat as the
ball approaches in the
first panel and in the
second panel the
player hits the ball.
20. Subject-to-
Subject
Changes from subject
of the scene to another
subject in the scene
(and sometimes back
to the original subject.)
Typically dialogue
between two subjects is
an example of subject-
to-subject
21. Scene-to-
Scene
Significant change is
time and location.
Moments in which the
story changes to a
different time and
location is good
example of a scene-to-
scene transition.
Change in
scene from
funeral to
Fantastic Four
location
(Baxter
Building).
22. Aspect-to-
Aspect
This panel transition
disregards time and
allows the reader’s eye
to “wander” through the
different aspects of the
setting.
Usually focuses on a
specific items,
individuals, or events.
Used to dictate pacing,
and/or set the
mood/tone of the
scene.
23. Aspect-to-
Aspect
This panel transition
disregards time and
allows the reader’s eye
to “wander” through the
different aspects of the
setting.
Usually focuses on a
specific items,
individuals, or events.
Used to dictate pacing,
and/or set the
mood/tone of the story.
24. Gutters and
Closure
Gutters in comics are
the empty spaces
between each panel.
This is the space in
which the reader must
use their imagination to
fill in the “empty” spots
with the action that is
not being shown.
This use of imagination
is known as closure.
Area known
as the
GUTTER.
25. Time, Space,
and Movement
Time and space can be
dictated and controlled in many
ways.
We have seen that panel
transitions are can be one way.
Other ways can be the panels
themselves in how they are
shaped and positioned
The actual contents in the
panel also control time and
space.
26. Time, Space,
and Movement

dictated and controlled in many
ways.
We have seen that panel
transitions are can be one way.
Other ways can be the panels
themselves in how they are
shaped and positioned
The actual contents in the
panel also control time and
space.
27. Lines, Color,
Word Balloons,
and Mood
Lines, such as movement lines
demonstrate dynamic
movement, or lines are used to
show the invisible to the reader
(i.e. stink lines on a pile of
garbage.)
28. Lines, Color,
Word Balloons,
and Mood
Lines, such as movement lines
demonstrate dynamic
movement, or lines are used to
show the invisible to the reader
(i.e. stink lines on a pile of
garbage.)
29. Lines, Color,
Word Balloons,
and Mood
Lines, such as movement lines
demonstrate dynamic
movement, or lines are used to
show the invisible to the reader
(i.e. stink lines on a pile of
garbage.)
Word balloons come in all
shapes and sizes, and
depending of those aspects,
indicates to the reader how
something is being said.
30. Lines, Color,
Word Balloons,
and Mood
Lines, such as movement lines
demonstrate dynamic
movement, or lines are used to
show the invisible to the reader
(i.e. stink lines on a pile of
garbage.)
Word balloons come in all
shapes and sizes, and
depending of those aspects,
indicates to the reader how
something is being said.

something is being said.
33. Lines, Color,
Word Balloons,
and Mood
Color, as well as everything
else we’ve discussed, helps to
add additional layers to the
story as well as to establish the
mood, and take the reading
experience of the reader to
another level of interpretation.
How does color establish the
moon in this scene?

● Science--discussion the ethical

studies through the cloning of Thor and
the prison in the negative zone.
35. Civil War in the Social Studies
Classroom
The Superhero Registration Act can be
a way to connect and discuss the
implications of different laws that the
American government has made
throughout the years.
● Legalized slavery
● E.O. 9066 (Japanese Internment
camps in WWII)
● The Alien Registration Act
● The PATRIOT ACT
What might be some other
connections that you can see with
either the Superhero Registration Act,
the plot of Civil War, or any comic that
you have read that could be taught in a
social studies classroom?
36. Civil War in the
Science Classroom
In the Civil War event, there is a lot of
different science concepts and technologies
being used albeit it is very fictionalized, and
at times not very realistic in their depiction
and uses.
However, this can still lead to some great
learning about the ethical implications of
using different kinds of technology and
science discoveries.
● Using science for the betterment of
some at the expense of others through
the example of prison 42 in the

Brief intro to what will be discussed
Talk about how this is one way that reading comics can be looked at; there are other ways. Mention how you will also talk about how reading a comic can tie into reading novels in class.
Expect for someone to disagree with the examples of each panel transition--use opportunity to explain that they are right and these definitions/examples are flexible and explain that this could be a great opportunity to discuss differences in interpretation with students and how that might affect the overall story.
Talk more about how this dictates pacing, mood, etc. Maybe break down what is happening here and “read” it to the audience. Tell them to be prepared to practice with each other in a few slides.
Use this time to speak to how having students discuss what they are imagining between the gutters, or having them write this part out as a writing activity, can help to improve comprehension skills, inference, and prediction. Also, can re-discuss how interpretation is occurring differently between readers and what implications this has on the reading experience.
Explain that time and space are one in the same in comics
Explain how the shapes of the panel can cause longer “time” to occur in the scene because the reader has to take longer to absorb everything
Explain how words on the page also dictates narrative pace--compare both to Cap action scene.
Mention how Spidey scene is considered multiple images to show movement, and how looking at the mulitple movements creates a pacing as well.
Practice a “reading” of this scene with the audience.
After audience talks, explain how the neg zone can be used in both classes to talk to similar things--way to show co-curricular with comics
Have the audience come up with ways in which teachers/students/librarians could book talk with parents and pricipals about comics.
--could be value that comics bring;--could be lessons learned in comics;--engage reluctant readers;--possible improve reading in some students
Yummy is the story about 11-year old gang member/assassin Robert “Yummy” Sandifer, who had 23 felonies before his death. He could not be prosecuted by the courts, so gang leaders sent him out to do a lot of the dirty work.
Have audience list any other titles that they feel should be in a school library
