In their reading of literary and non-literary texts, students learn to make meaning of author\u2019s craft as well as the messages within each text. The three <strong>areas of exploration<\/strong> in the language and literature&nbsp; &#8211; Readers, writers, and texts, time and space, and intertextuality &#8211; help students study the construction of meaning from three perspectives. How might we introduce students to these perspectives and get them started on this \u2018meaningful\u2019 journey?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">With these ready-to-use interactive lessons, you can help students unpack the areas of exploration and dig deeper into how meaning is constructed and communicated. Designed as an editable student-facing slide deck, it introduces the basics of textual analysis and is well-suited for students early in the course. For both literary and non-literary texts, the following questions are explored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is meaning and where does it come from?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is meaning constructed differently in different texts?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do the <strong>areas of exploration<\/strong> help us interpret meaning?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Featuring literary texts by Robert Frost and William Shakespeare, and non-literary texts by Richard McGuire and Adriane Tomine, this deck can be flexibly adapted to suit your purposes: from a stand-alone lesson to an interactive discussion spread out over a whole week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group learnings has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff6f3\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ideas for using this slide deck:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Break students into teams. Have them compete to create the most detailed list of similarities and differences between the two non-literary texts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenge the students to interpret the Shakespeare poem. Listen to a few attempts, then perform a live explication and annotation to build on their understanding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reveal the works you\u2019ve selected for the course. Students can conduct research on each work, then speculate on which work(s) are best aligned with each area of exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":327,"featured_media":12031,"template":"resource\/resource_post_container.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[307,303,420],"tags":[320],"coauthors":[415],"class_list":["post-12025","resource_post","type-resource_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-classroom-strategies","category-curriculum-planning","category-language-and-literature","tag-dp"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Introducing Areas of Exploration | Interactive Lessons<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Introduce Areas of Exploration in the DP language &amp; literature course using an interactive slide deck.
