The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Tennyson
1. The poem describes the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War in 1854, in which 600 British cavalrymen were sent on a suicidal mission and suffered heavy losses due to a misunderstood order.
2. The poem uses powerful imagery to depict the cavalry riding into battle despite knowing it was a fatal mistake, as they were surrounded on all sides by Russian cannons. Through repetition and military-inspired rhythm, the poem conveys the chaos and horror of the battle.
3. Ultimately, the poem serves as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Light Brigade, as Tennyson calls for honoring their doomed yet heroic charge through remembering their story.
How to write a limerick
A limerick is a five line poem with a strict rhyme and rhythm pattern. The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme together with one rhyme, while the third and fourth lines rhyme together with a different rhyme. The rhythm follows a pattern of three stressed syllables for lines one, two, and five, and two stressed syllables for lines three and four. Examples are provided to illustrate the rhyme and rhythm patterns. Tips are given to ensure new limericks follow these conventions. Ideas for topics can come from names, places, or other everyday things.
Author's purpose presentation
This document discusses an author's purpose for writing and identifies the four main purposes: to entertain, to inform, to persuade, and to describe. It provides examples of text types that serve each purpose and explains that readers can determine an author's purpose by examining clues within the text, such as the type of information presented and whether the author aims to educate, convince, depict a location, or tell a story. Determining an author's purpose is an important reading comprehension skill.
Irony Activity
The document defines and provides examples of different types of irony:
- Situational irony occurs when something happens that is unexpected or contrary to what is typical (e.g. a fire station burning down).
- Dramatic irony involves the audience knowing something that characters in a story do not (e.g. knowing a boogeyman is hiding while the character does not).
- Verbal irony involves saying something that means the opposite of the literal words (e.g. saying a date is "dressed up" when they are not).
The document then provides examples of situations and quotes that demonstrate situational, dramatic, or verbal irony.

The document discusses different reading techniques and when to use them. It explains that skimming is used to get the main idea of a text quickly, scanning is used to find a specific piece of information, intensive reading is used for deeper understanding, and extensive reading is done for pleasure. It also provides examples of when each technique would be appropriate.
Persuasive techniques activity
Here is a draft letter to the school governors putting forward the proposal and attempting to persuade them:
Dear Governors,
I am writing to you today on behalf of the student council to propose a change to the school uniform policy for the summer months.
As you may be aware, many students have been voicing their discomfort with having to wear ties during the hotter summer weather. With temperatures rising, ties can feel constricting and cause students to feel warm and distracted during lessons.
We believe removing the requirement for ties from the start of the summer term until September would have clear benefits for student wellbeing and learning. It would allow students to feel more comfortable in the warmer conditions and remain focused on their studies.

Introduction to-literature
This document provides an introduction to literature and discusses different types. It defines literature as written artistic works that have lasting artistic value, including works produced by scholars in a given field. The document notes that literature can be studied and interpreted to understand the meaning and beauty within works, or can be used for escape and entertainment. Examples of different types of poetry are provided to illustrate canon literature, with characteristics including having a beautiful or beneficial effect on the reader. In the next meeting, understanding of intrinsic literary elements will be prepared.
Thesis Statements: Expanded Version
The document provides information on how to write an effective thesis statement. It explains that a thesis statement should be one or two sentences that state the main idea or argument of an essay. A thesis statement gives structure to the essay and lets the reader know what to expect. The document also discusses different types of thesis statements and provides examples of strong and weak thesis statements.
Parts of An Argument
I created these slides to teach a 9th grade lesson on Argument. I embedded comments on how these match the principles outlined by Richard Mayer for multimedia design.
Point of-view
Point of view refers to how a story is told through the perspective of a narrator. There are three main points of view: third person omniscient, where the narrator knows everything about all characters; third person limited, where the narrator only knows the thoughts of one character; and first person, where the narrator is a character in the story. The point of view affects what the reader learns about the characters, events, and setting of the story.
Dramatic Irony
There are three main types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony occurs when words are used to convey a meaning that is opposite of their literal meaning, like sarcasm. Situational irony refers to events that are unexpected or undeserved. Dramatic irony exists when the audience of a work is aware of ironic details that characters in the story are not. Examples provided include lyrics from songs that illustrate different types of irony and how viewers of the film Titanic were aware of the ship's sinking despite characters' ignorance.
A Dream Deferred
Langston Hughes' poem "A Dream Deferred" explores what happens when dreams and aspirations are put off to a later time. The poem uses imagery and rhetorical questions to suggest that delaying one's dreams can cause them to wither and decay, or potentially "explode" in frustration. As part of the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes sought to portray the black experience in America and encourage African Americans to pursue their goals and celebrate their culture despite facing racial struggles and limited opportunities at the time. The theme of pursuing one's dreams, even in the face of adversity, remains relevant today.
Reading comprehension strategy- Inference
The passage discusses making inferences while reading. It provides examples of inferences readers can make about characters in short stories. These include inferring why a woman named Boori Ma hasn't slept in two nights based on contextual clues, and inferring the message an author wants to convey based on words and events described. The passage emphasizes that readers use their background knowledge and clues from the text to make logical assumptions about what is implied but not directly stated.
Satire+ppt
Satire is a form of writing that uses humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people's stupidity or vices in order to effect social or political change. Satire targets specific individuals, groups of people, or society as a whole. Common devices used in satire include exaggeration, irony, sarcasm, and understatement. Famous English satires include Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift and A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, which ridiculed landlords by suggesting they eat children. The primary goal of satire is to bring about social reform by criticizing human weaknesses.
Lamb to the Slaughter
Using Roald Dahl's 'Lamb to the Slaughter' as stimulus, students create their own piece of Imaginative, Narrative and/or Descriptive Writing for Assignment 2.
Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing is a literary device that hints at future events in a story. It creates suspense by setting up expectations in the reader through recurring symbols, character reactions, settings, dialogue, and more. Examples include a mother's concern for her daughter in Little Red Riding Hood foreshadowing the appearance of the wolf, and Indiana Jones commenting on unstable ground before an earthquake. Foreshadowing has been used for centuries in literature to surprise readers or shift the mood.
Tone and mood
This document discusses the differences between tone and mood in literature. Tone refers to an author's attitude towards the subject, which can be shown through word choice and dialogue. Mood instead creates an atmosphere and refers to the feelings evoked in the reader by settings and character actions. Tone and mood are distinct but related - a passage could have a serious tone but a ridiculous mood. Examples are provided to illustrate tone conveyed through frustration or apology, and mood set by romantic or cozy settings. The key difference is that tone reflects the author's feelings while mood is the feeling experienced by the reader.
Context clue powerpoint
Context clues are hints in the text that help readers understand unknown words. The document discusses three types of context clues - direct definitions, synonyms, and antonyms - and provides examples of each. It then guides readers through an activity where they use context clues to determine the meanings of unfamiliar words in a sample diary entry.
Narrative Point of View
The document discusses point of view (POV) in narratives. There are three main types of POV: first person, second person, and third person. First person POV involves a narrator who is a participant in the story and uses pronouns like "I" and "me". Second person POV directly addresses the reader using pronouns like "you". Third person POV involves a narrator who is not a participant and uses pronouns like "he", "she", or "they". Third person can be further divided into omniscient, limited, or objective based on what the narrator knows. The document provides examples to illustrate each type of POV.
Author's Purpose
The author's purpose is the main reason that he/she has for writing the selection.
Point of view is the author's opinion about the subject. The author's purpose and point of view go together. The author wants you to see the topic from his/her point of view.
When you are able to recognize the author's purpose, you will have a better understanding of the selection.
Kinds of Author's Purpose
If the author's purpose is to inform, you will learn something from the selection (facts, details/instructions, places, events and people.
If the author's purpose is to persuade, that means they want you to believe their position. Persuasive pieces are usually non-fiction.
If the author's purpose is to entertain, one goal may be to tell a story or to describe characters, places or events.
Using context clues
This document discusses using context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. It provides four types of context clues: definition, example, contrast, and logic of passage. Definition clues directly define the word. Example clues use examples to explain the word's meaning. Contrast clues use opposite words to infer the unfamiliar word's meaning. Logic of passage clues use reasoning based on the context to deduce the meaning. The document provides examples of each type of context clue and two practice assignments for students.
How to write a play review
The document provides a guide for writing a play review in 15 steps. It explains that a play review should include details about the who, what, where, and when of the play. It also says a review should discuss the casting, plot, style, costumes, set design, director, memorable quotes, and the reviewer's own opinion on what they liked and disliked. A good review also comments on the levels of acting, characterizations, background music, and any mistakes during the performance. The guide stresses the importance of giving credit to those who worked on the play.
Differences between Fiction and Non-fiction
“Fiction” refers to literature created from the imagination. Mysteries, science fiction, romance, fantasy, chick lit, crime thrillers are all fiction genres. “Nonfiction” refers to literature based in fact. It is the broadest category of literature.

Elements of Poetry: Sound Devices
This document discusses various sound devices used in poetry, including alliteration, assonance, repetition, rhythm and meter, rhyme, and onomatopoeia. Alliteration involves repeating initial consonant sounds in words. Assonance repeats vowel sounds. Repetition emphasizes words or phrases. Rhythm is created by stressed and unstressed syllables, while meter follows a regular pattern. Rhyme matches ending sounds of lines. Rhyme scheme identifies the pattern of rhymes. Onomatopoeia uses words that mimic their meaning. Examples are provided to illustrate each device.

Revision guide - Of Mice and Men
The characters in Of Mice and Men use dreams as a way to cope with the loneliness and hopelessness of their lives on the ranch. George and Lennie share the central dream of owning a small farm together one day. When they tell Candy about their dream, he joins their vision, hoping it will give him purpose and security in his old age. Crooks and Curley's wife also have dreams - Crooks of being treated as an equal, and Curley's wife of becoming a movie star - that provide temporary escape from their difficult realities. However, the novel's title suggests these dreams are unlikely to be fulfilled, and the characters' circumstances seem to ensure their dreams will remain unrealized. Dreams
Background and Overview - Of Mice and Men
John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas, California. During the Great Depression, many farmers in the Great Plains lost their farms due to drought and financial hardship. Hundreds of thousands migrated west to California seeking work, hoping to find opportunity. The novel follows George and Lennie, two migrant ranch workers in California in the 1930s who dream of owning their own farm. Lennie's accidental killing of a ranch owner's wife jeopardizes their dream. The story examines themes of the American Dream, powerlessness, and human compassion in difficult times.

3. To achieve high grades, language analysis must analyze specific words or techniques, Steinbeck's purpose in telling us something about society, and relate it to the historical context of migrant workers and racial segregation in America.
Explore the ways in which john steinbeck presents
Steinbeck uses the settings of Crooks' room and the bunkhouse to symbolize the lives of the ranch workers. Crooks' small, cramped room leaning off the barn wall represents his isolation and low status as the only black stable hand. The bunkhouse is a plain, whitewashed building lacking character that houses the workers in identical bunks, showing their uniform lives and lack of individuality. Both settings also contain references to medicines, representing the workers' need to cure themselves from the illness of their circumstances. The settings reinforce that the dreams of the workers like Crooks, George and Lennie seem as unattainable as an escape from their confined lives.
