Friday, May 9 Keystone Practice / Review

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze literary terms and vocabulary in order to prepare for the Keystone exam.

DO NOW - copy definition and example

DEFINITION of SYMBOL:
A symbol is an actual, tangible THING that represents an abstract IDEA.
Examples: The FENCE is the SYMBOL / PRIVACY is the IDEA

When a constructed response asks for the MESSAGE, do not retell the story. The message usually is clearest at the end of the story so go back and check there. The message is can be the theme - the IDEA that the story is trying to tell you / the point it is trying to make. Symbols help the reader visualize this point.

Example: The FENCE story helps the reader visualize that if people continue to build bigger walls around themselves, thay may gain privacy, but they will lose community and isolate themselves from society.
