  1. Left Over Terms Gr 11 Short Stories

  2. Chronological Order • Chronological order is when things happen in a story as they do in time. • Ex. The Lottery – first they game to the square, then they drew the tickets, then they killed the woman • A story with flashbacks (or flashforwards) is NOT told in chronological order

  3. Style/Stylistic Technique • If I saw Mr. Brandon walking down the hallway, and I said to you, “I really like Mr. Brandon’s style” • What would I be talking about?

  4. Style/Stylistic Technique • An author’s characteristic way of writing – something that defines who they are as writers • Stylistic Techniques are the different methods that the writer uses to create their style. An author may use metaphors, sentence variety, or unique descriptions • If you say “I love the way the author ________” then you are talking about the author’s style and stylistic techniques

  5. Satire • Satire is when people or ideas are made fun of in order to be humorous. This is most common in politics

  6. Denoument • Another word for conclusion of the story • In a plot line: • Introduction/Exposition  Rising Action  Climax  • Falling Action  Conclusion/Denoument

  7. Epiphany • The moment when a character (or person) has a moment of clarity and learns something significant • Ex. When a person sees a guitar in a shop and realizes they don’t want to be an architect, they want to be a musician.

  8. Historical Reference • What it looks like – When something historical is referenced in a story • Ex. The expression on your face, I’d think you were reading the Diary of Anne Frank!

  9. Voice • Similar to style, it is the distinctive tone of the author • This is easiest to see in First Person Point of View

  10. Feeback on Stand Alones • DON’T FORGET THE TAG • In the short story “The Pose” by Anwer Khan…..

  11. Feedback - Quotes • One person wrote: • The girl went to the cloth store “she opened the door of the show window”, “removing the lovely mannequin”, stood herself in the “plastic dummy’s place and assumed it’s pose” • Do you need ALL these quotes?!? Think of what you are trying to prove

  12. Feedback - Quotes • Insead: • The girl went to the clothing store to stand herself in the “plastic dummy’s place and assumed it’s pose”. • That is the most important part of the quote. Drop the rest

  13. Feedback – Answer Question • Some people still are not answering the question in the first sentence. • In the story “The Pose” by Anwar Khan, the protagonist is ___________________. • Risky, brave, silly, self-concious • Is motivated by external factors, • A dynamic character that changes from shy to confident

  14. Give Context • Ex – “She was happy. Incredibly happy” this proves that when people started looking at her in a surprised and amazed way, she started having some comfort inside her and believe in herself. • Put your explanation first, rather than tell us what its about later • When people started looking at her in a surprised and amazed way, “she felt happy. Incredibly happy” and she started to believe in herself.
