I can answer questions about The Tudors. 

I understand and can identify the most common stylistic devices and sound techniques that appear in literature.

Braindump:
What do you remember about the Tudors?

expectations during literature hours

- Why did Henry marry so many times?

- Why was religion such an important issue for Elizabeth I and her predecessors?

Why did Henry VIII break with Rome? 

•  Why did Henry VIII break with Rome?

Henry VIII wanted to marry his mistress Anne Boleyn because Catherine of Aragon had produced an heir. In order to do this, he had to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The pope did not agree with this. Part of the reason was that Catherine of Aragon was family of Charles V who had taken control of Rome. 

Why did Henry VIII break with Rome? 

Some context: 

Thus Henry VIII

argued that the marriage between Catherine of Aragon and his brother had in fact been consumated. 

 Why did Henry VIII marry so many times?

Henry VIII needed a male heir to succeed him but the wives he had married (Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn) only bore him daughters. Jane Seymour was the first wife who gave him a son Edward VI. Jane Seymour died in childbirth 

 Why did Henry VIII marry so many times?

Why was religion such an important issue for Elizabeth I and her predecessors?

Religion was a way to keep the common man in order, it was a way to create stability at chaotic times. 

Look up the lyrics from a song that you like. 

What do you think are stylistic devices?

What do you think are sound techniques?

close your laptops, open your notebook and grab a pen! 

Metaphor

a word or phrase that refers to something else

• The pillow was a cloud
  
• Wings chased us through the night
  

Simile

a metaphor that uses the words like or as to describe someone or something by comparing it with someone or something else

• I wandered lonely as a cloud
  
• You look like hell
  

personification

ascribing human traits to objects

• the waves danced
  
• Trees stretched their arms
  

Oxymoron

combining words with opposite meanings (creates dramatic effect and makes readers wonder how the two could be combined)

• old news
• loving hate

Imagery

author provokes sensory details through the use of descriptive language

• The sunset was the most gorgeous they’d ever seen; the clouds were edged with pink and gold.
• The familiar tang of his grandmother’s cranberry sauce reminded him of his youth.

consonance

a series of words (or close together) that have the same consonant sound

• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
• “The phantom flashed past, aflame, then, “poof!” faded out of sight.” 

consonance

a series of words (or close together) that have the same consonant sound

• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
• “The phantom flashed past, aflame, then, “poof!” faded out of sight.” 

why not the "f" in "of"?

assonance

a series of words (or close together) that have the same vowel sound

• I made my way to the lake
  
• “His tender heir might bear his memory” 

alliteration

:(specific form of consonance) a series of words (or close together) that have the same first consonant sound

• While I nodded, nearly napping
  
• fair is foul and foul is fair, 

           hover throught the fog and filthy air.

onomatopoeia

words that sound like their meaning

• Jingling bells
  
• Bees are buzzing
  

Note that these are sound techniques and therefore may not be reflected in spelling, i.e. “do you like blue” is also considered assonance.

Now, see if you can find these devices and techniques in your lyrics.

Today's reflection

8. Afsluiting

De docent controleert in de slotfase van de les of de leerdoelen door alle leerlingen behaald zijn en plaatst de les in de context van de betreffende Unit. De docent evalueert samen met de leerlingen het leren en het gedrag op basis van het Learner Profile en de ATL-skills. Dit wordt vastgelegd in Toddle. Samen blikken docent en leerlingen vooruit aan de hand van de JdW-planner.
