Academic Vocabulary for the upcoming unit

Argument is over and being graded.

We are getting back into literature.  Students have filled in the sheets below.  As we watch Searching for Bobby Fischer, they will identify examples of these literary terms in the right column. I have shown this movie for years.  I consider it as deep and meaningful as any story we would read in our anthology. I also included the character study we will do with the movie.  We will be spending a lot of time discussing characterization in the next two units.

The words are defined on this page.

The students can use this Quizlet page to practice for the quiz.  It is a large, ugly group, but it does provide practice.  Students can take practice tests.  Only check off multiple choice and hit "create new test."
