1) Front story and backstory, which refer to the horizontal and vertical movement in a narrative - the sequence of events (front story) and background details (backstory).
2) Luminous details, which are unique descriptive details that authenticate the truth of the stories for the reader.
3) The Thing and The Other Thing, where The Thing is the plot events and The Other Thing is the overall theme or meaning of the story.
4) Patterns, which are repeating narrative devices that serve to reinforce ideas, foreshadow events, and authenticate aspects of the story for the reader.
Literary devices
This document defines and provides examples of key literary devices used in storytelling, including plot (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution), setting, conflict (internal and external), point of view (first person, third person limited, third person omniscient), and theme.

Narrated: What makes an effective summary?
The document provides guidance on writing an effective summary. An effective summary should accurately represent the original work in 200-250 words using the author's own words. It should reveal the main ideas without opinion and attribute ideas to the original author. Quotes should be used sparingly, if at all. The summary should be coherent, thorough, and properly cited as its own unique piece of writing distinct from the original. As an example, the document summarizes David Sedaris' essay "Me Talk Pretty One Day" which recounts the author's experiences learning French in Paris, detailing a cruel teacher but ultimately finding joy in comprehension.

Types of Narratives
This document discusses different types of narratives and provides guidance on writing short stories. It outlines personal narratives, which focus on a single event from the author's life, and fictional narratives, which invent a character and moment. Both require a central conflict.

May 30 - Demo Lesson - Mrs. Cohen-Agha
The document provides learning targets and instructions for analyzing the poem "A Boundless Moment" by Robert Frost. Students are asked to underline imagery in each stanza and identify the most significant picture. They are then instructed to write their own ironic statement using pretense or sarcasm to share in class. Examples given are "I hate weekends" and "That was a really fun test" to demonstrate ironic language.
Parody Stylistics
Parody and satire both use irony in their stylistic incongruity. Irony exists between what is said and what is meant. Parody can take any prior text as its model and mimics the style through ironic echoing, while remaining affectionate to the source. In contrast, satire has an aggressive element and requires distortion through ironic twisting to critique the source through opposition within its own style. For example, Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" satirizes overpopulation issues in Ireland by absurdly proposing to eat children.
Week 3 formal vs. informal writing
This document discusses aspects of formal academic writing such as using a third-person objective point of view, avoiding contractions, maintaining an appropriate tone, choosing accurate and precise words, and following general rules of formal writing.

Examples are given for each type of figurative language.
Narrative techniques
The document discusses various narrative techniques used in storytelling such as plot structure, climaxes from Star Wars films, falling action and resolution. It also provides tips on writing effective flashbacks including triggers to ignite or return from a flashback, keeping them brief, and using them to advance the story or reveal character traits. Additional topics covered include foreshadowing, showing versus telling, choosing a story tense, point of view, dialogue rules, and more.
Elements of Fiction
The document provides information about short stories and novels. It notes that short stories are usually focused on a single idea or theme, are not usually chapterized, and can typically be read in one sitting. In contrast, novels have several ideas and themes, are much longer, and are told over multiple chapters which takes longer to read.

Poetry odes
This document provides information about odes, including that an ode is a poem that praises a person, place, or ordinary object. It discusses how odes have traditionally celebrated great achievements and places. The document notes that odes elevate simple topics through creative language like imagery, metaphors, similes, and personification. While odes praise their subject, they do so in a serious tone and sometimes make broader statements about the subject beyond just praise. An example ode about socks is provided.
Srn references
The document contains a collection of images relating to various topics including old telephones, films, historical events, paintings, and musicians. Images shown include vintage telephones, scenes from the films Wings and Dracula, the Hindenburg disaster, a Raphael painting of the Madonna and Child, the band Huey Lewis and the News, and characters from the Rambo films. The images provide a visual overview of various historical figures, objects, and popular culture from different time periods.
Srn drama background
This document defines drama as a story told through dialogue. It notes that dramas are meant to be performed on stage or screen, so the setting is important. Since there is no narrator, the plot unfolds through characters' actions and speech as they deal with conflicts. Characters are central to dramas as they provide information and drive the story forward. When reading a teleplay, one should pay attention to the list of characters, dialogue attribution, scene changes, camera directions that visualize the story, and stage directions that describe the scene.
Rj br intro
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote 37 plays and 154 other works including poems during his lifetime. Some of his most famous plays include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Shakespeare's plays were performed in London theaters like the Globe Theatre, which was owned by Shakespeare and his acting troupe. His plays have endured and are still popular today for their complex characters, themes, and use of language like iambic pentameter and sonnets.
Wfs claims
A claim is the "backbone" of an essay. It connects all the elements of a paper and defines the purpose by containing a topic and position on that topic. A good claim unifies the writer's thoughts under one main idea and prevents the reader from asking "So what?" about the topic. More specifically, a claim is not merely a statement of fact, personal opinion, or vague generalization. It should also propose a solution or make a comparison to effectively argue a position.
Wfs academic voice
This document discusses point of view in academic writing. It explains that first person point of view uses words like "I", "we", and "my" and is not appropriate for academic papers as it makes the writing seem biased. Second person point of view uses "you" and addresses the reader directly, which can be seen as pushy. The document recommends using third person point of view with impersonal pronouns like "one", "they", and "people" to maintain an objective tone without directing statements at the reader.
Wfs they sayi_say1617
The document provides guidance on using quotations in writing. It advises including outside sources and expert opinions to strengthen arguments and confirm claims. Quotations should be selected carefully and used to support key ideas. When including a quote, a writer must introduce it by framing it in their own words, cite the source, and explain how the quote backs up the point being made. Quotations add authority when used correctly and framed within the writer's own analysis.
Ps transitions public
This document discusses the importance of using transitions in public speaking. It defines transitions as phrases that indicate when a speaker is moving from one idea to the next. Some examples of transitions provided are "in addition," "now that we've seen," and "on the other hand." The document also discusses using internal previews to foreshadow upcoming points and internal summaries to recap what has already been discussed. Signposts are brief statements that indicate where the speaker is in the speech. Failing to use these techniques can cause audiences to feel lost between ideas.
Ps organization
This document provides guidance on organizing a public speaking presentation. It explains that the introduction should grab the audience's attention, set the purpose, and preview the main points. The body should have 2-3 main points supported by evidence, using an organizational strategy consistently. The conclusion should reiterate the topic and purpose, review the main points, and leave the audience with a concluding thought. It recommends starting by outlining the body, then writing the introduction and conclusion, adding an attention-grabbing opener and memorable closing statement. Transitions and revisions are also important.
Ps rate
This document provides tips for maintaining a natural and comfortable pace when public speaking. It recommends aiming for a rate of speech that is neither too fast nor too slow, as this helps ensure clarity. Various factors can influence speech rate, such as birth/culture, stress, fatigue, and complexity of content. Generally, a slower pace is better than a faster one. The document suggests having partners time each other reading to determine their words per minute and identify ways to optimize their individual speech rates.
Arits final discussionquestions
The article discusses how food choices impact health and well-being. It notes that a diet high in processed foods can lead to weight gain and increased risk of disease, while eating more whole foods like fruits and vegetables provides nutrients and fiber that support overall health. Choosing to cook more meals at home from whole ingredients allows for healthier, more balanced options.
Arits language usen_word
The document discusses the disputed usage of certain words, particularly the "n-word". It notes the word's origins and history as a racial slur. While some Black artists have reclaimed the word, many argue its connotations cannot be erased given its role in racism. Usage remains taboo for most, though meanings have blurred in popular music. The power of context is emphasized, as words can deeply offend depending on setting and speaker.
Ps impromptu directions
This document provides directions for an impromptu speech activity. Students will randomly select a topic, have 1 minute to plan an organization approach, and then speak for 1 to 2 minutes on that topic. After speaking, the student will receive content feedback from the audience and select the next speaker.
Ps tongue twisters2
The document provides 7 tongue twisters involving repetition of words and phrases to challenge pronunciation. The first twister describes a tutor trying to teach two students to play the flute. The second asks how many pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. The third involves selling sea shells by the sea shore. The fourth asks how much wood a woodchuck could chuck. The seventh and longest is a cumulative tale describing a house Jack built and the animals involved.
Ps good audience
The document provides tips for being a good audience member such as arriving on time, turning off cell phones, giving the presenter undivided attention without talking or interrupting, showing engagement through nonverbal cues, applauding at the end, providing feedback privately if disagreeing, and following the Golden Rule.
Ps vocal variety
This document provides guidance on using your voice effectively for public speaking. It emphasizes the importance of breathing to speak confidently and the impact of volume, rate, pitch, and pauses on one's message and how they are perceived. Specific tips include varying volume and rate to emphasize points, speaking at a rate of 133-188 words per minute, using different pitches to sound more interesting, and employing strategic pauses to control pace and allow the audience to process information. The document encourages experimenting with vocal elements to convey different emotions.
Ps visual aids
This document discusses the use of visual aids in public speaking. It identifies different types of visual aids including PowerPoint slides, props, display boards, videos, photos, maps, and charts. The benefits of using visual aids are that they can improve audience understanding and memory retention, serve as notes for the speaker, provide clearer organization, and allow for more eye contact. When creating visual aids, speakers should make sure the aids are large enough to be seen by all and contain simple graphics, fonts, and information. Speakers should also practice with their visual aids and introduce/summarize the content while maintaining eye contact with the audience.
St preview powerpoint
This document outlines the requirements for a research paper and presentation project. Students must write a 5-7 page research paper with a works cited page on a self-selected topic of interest. They will also present their findings through a 5-10 minute PowerPoint presentation. The goals of the project are to have students research a topic, write and speak about what they learned, and demonstrate skills at a post-secondary level. Suggested topics include history, local politics, creative arts, health/science/math, sports, literature, technology, and trades. Students must pick a topic that investigates a real question and forms an opinion through evidence in a thesis paper.
Arits act i_sc1_morningroutine
This document discusses morning routines in a household and asks who is present, who is responsible for making breakfast and other chores, how everyone manages to get ready to leave on time, and how these morning tasks impact family dynamics.
Ps eye contact_reflection
The document discusses an activity where the reader worked with someone they knew well and someone they barely knew. They are asked to compare the experiences, noting similarities and differences, and reflect on what they did to overcome any awkwardness. The reader is also prompted to consider how the activity relates to public speaking and why eye contact is important for public speaking.
