They should use vocabulary words related to fiction vs nonfiction, genres, plot components, characters, and themes. The document defines these key terms and discusses how stories can be categorized based on their factual or fictional nature, genres determined by similar plots, and importance of elements like setting, point of view, protagonists, antagonists, conflicts and resolution in driving the plot.
Final essay assignment
This document provides instructions for a final essay assignment for an ELIT 22 class. Students must write a 3 to 5 page essay analyzing an aspect of myth or folklore found in a book or film not covered in class. They can use the analysis methods discussed in class, and compare creation myths, flood myths, or hero's journeys. The essay should trace elements like hero's journeys or symbolism rather than just summarizing the plot. It must clearly explain what element is being analyzed and how the story fulfills that element. Several film and book options are provided, with a note that other media can also be used if they analyze the work as if describing it to someone unfamiliar with it.

The document emphasizes crafting dialogue that develops characters and moves the plot forward without being repetitive or mundane.
Theorist Research
The document summarizes theories from three narrative theorists:
Robert McKee examines narrative structure and what makes a story compelling rather than just mechanical aspects like plot or dialogue.
Vladimir Propp analyzed fairy tales and identified 31 generic plot functions or elements that commonly occur in a uniform sequence. However, his claim of uniformity does not always hold and fails to consider other elements like mood.
Tzvetan Todorov suggested conventional narratives follow a 5-stage structure: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, reinstatement of equilibrium, as seen in typical James Bond movies.
Marigolds
The document provides background information on the short story "Marigolds" by Eugenia W. Collier.

It ends in a cliffhanger as Charlie's fate is uncertain after an attack from the book.
Metaphor
This document defines and provides examples of different types of metaphors. It explains that a metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things that shares a common characteristic. Extended metaphors establish a principal subject and related comparisons, while dead metaphors are those where the image is no longer understood. Mixed metaphors inconsistently switch between identifications. Examples from literature, like Shakespeare's As You Like It, demonstrate how metaphors can describe subjects in more interesting ways than just stating facts.
Multimedia project
James Seo presented multimedia comparisons of texts read in class to popular movies and images in order to better understand the texts. The first comparison related his confusion reading The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner to Jackie Chan's character in Rush Hour who does not understand American culture. The second connected the description of the Green Knight in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to Shrek due to their similar giant, green appearances. The final slide compared the mental instability of the main character in The Number 23 to the changing character of Robert in The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.
Skellig

His friendship with the creature, named Skellig, and his neighbor Mina are the focus of the story. The story is told from Michael's perspective in first person point of view. There are multiple conflicts, including the baby being sick and Michael trying to figure out what Skellig is and help him.
How to Analyze a Model Essay for Imitation
The document provides guidance on how to analyze a model essay in order to imitate its style. It discusses several key elements of style to examine: the situation and story, motives of language/subject/writer/reader, physical and social footing, tropes/schemes/images. As an example, it analyzes Susan Orlean's essay "Lifelike" about a taxidermy competition. It examines these various style elements in the essay such as the situation being a tour of the competition, the motives of the reader and subject, the physical and social footing, and tropes like metonymy. The document advises applying these same style elements to the reader's own topic for their imitative essay.
Narrative Elements and Devices
The document discusses different types of narrators in literature, including first person narrated by a character in the story, second person addressing the reader as "you", third person omniscient where the narrator knows all about the characters, and third person limited where the narrator only follows one character's point of view. It then provides examples of different passages and identifies the point of view for each.
Your Thesis and My Comments
The document provides commentary and feedback on student thesis statements for literary analysis papers. The commenter provides guidance on specifying story details, defining symbolic elements, and revising statements for clarity and focus. Suggestions include mentioning the story title, being explicit about what elements will be analyzed, and ensuring claims are narrow enough to be adequately supported in the paper. The goal is to help students strengthen their thesis statements and focus their analysis.
Presentation 6 (5)
This summary compares the book and film adaptations of "Holes" by Louis Sachar. It notes that in both, Stanley Yelnats IV is mysteriously arrested and sent to Camp Green Lake as an alternative to jail. While some details are the same, like Stanley being handcuffed on the bus, the book depicts Stanley as overweight, whereas he is not in the movie. The summarizer also prefers how Stanley finds water in the film rather than having to dig for it, believing this makes the story more magical. Overall, the summarizer expresses a preference for the more imaginative film over the book.
Paradox
This document provides an overview of literary devices such as figures of speech, metaphor, simile, paradox, metonymy, and synecdoche. It explains that figures of speech allow poets to communicate insights in non-logical ways. Metaphors directly equate two unlike things, while similes use "like" or "as" to draw comparisons. A paradox is something impossible yet true, such as "fighting a war for peace." The poem "Paradox" by Angela Manalang-Gloria is used as an example to illustrate metonymy, where related objects replace broader ideas, and synecdoche, where a part represents the whole.
March 2 6
The document summarizes a classroom lesson on poetry. The teacher leads students in analyzing poems to understand the author's purpose, inspiration, and central idea. Students consider how elements like rhythm, repetition, and onomatopoeia create sound in poetry. They then apply these skills to poems by Langston Hughes and Jacqueline Woodson. Later, the teacher prompts students to write poems expressing their hopes and visions of peace for their community and world.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
