Literary Terms V4

The Veldt by Ray Bradbury

Next lesson: VT2 review

Goals

I can identify, explain and apply the following literary terms: foreshadowing, characterisation, (un)reliable narrator, point of view, setting, atmosphere, plot structure, alliteration, repetition + figurative language (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, understatement, personification)

I can identify and interpret the theme of The Veldt (supporting my inferences with textual evidence)

I can read between the lines to understand what might happen at the end of The Veldt

 

I have started reading this term's novel:

YES

I HAVEN'T BUT I AM AWARE THAT I NEED TO BE HALFWAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK

YES (BUT ONLY 1 PAGE)

Literary terms V4

Figurative language

Alliteration

Vowels = klinkers

Consonants = medeklinkers

Alliteration = beginrijm van medeklinkers

Bijvoorbeeld: schots en scheef

Which of these is an example of alliteration?

1. a glass heart
2. life is a roller-coaster
3. you're as cold as ice
4. silently seeking the silky sounds

Which sentence is an example of alliteration?

1. You are the apple of my eye.
2. Sheep should sleep in a shed
3. He was stubborn like a mule
4. We need more boots on the ground.

Repetition

Repeating words (or letters!) in a sentence, paragraph or story.

Example: The people of this town deserve a mayor they can trust, a mayor they can respect, a mayor they can count on.

When / why is repetition used?

The Veldt?

00:59

What is the setting of this story? (time/place) Use evidence

The Veldt

While reading the story, answer this question:

When is this story set? In the past, the present or the future? And how do you know?

3. Can you find two instances of irony? For each instance, describe the irony.

possible answers

e.g. the moment they decide to give the children a last chance to say goodbye to their nursery before they close it and this decision ends up killing them.

e.g. That they decided they needed e a respite from technology and needed to go back to really living, but technology kills them anyway.

more examples possible: check with your teacher in class. 

4. What point of view is the story told from?

1. the mom
2. the parents
3. the children
4. the dad

5. What type of narrator tells the story?

1. third person limited omniscient narrator
2. first person limited omniscient narrator
3. third person omniscient narrator
4. first person omniscient narrator

The Veldt

Answering literature questions (PEE)

1. Find two separate examples of foreshadowing. Write them down and explain their effect on the reader. 

(first question in IL The Veldt Assignment)

1. The first instance of foreshadowing is X. 

2. The second instance is X. 

The effect of these examples of foreshadowing on the reader is [POINT] I know this because [EVIDENCE]. This shows that [EXPLANATION] 

TO DO NOW

1. Finish reading the story (15 mins)

2. Write down for yourself: what happens at the end? (read between the lines!)

3. Go to IL > literature > short stories > work on the questions for The Veldt: use a PEE structure
