WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?

In other words:• No matter what the form of the text (visual, audio, words)… I will read

like a forensic detective, looking for clues, noticing all the important details and the details that are missing

• Like an investigative reporter, I will question what I observe, as well as what I do not observe and communicate those answers so that others will know what I am talking about.

• I will pause along the way to make sure I understand what I have to do• By the time I finish reading “Of Mice and Men” I will be able to write

an essay about the ending of the novel and be able to provide support citing details from these visual text and audio text lessons to support my position. I will be graded using the FSA writing rubric. (Available on the web site).

Academic Terms in this Unit

• MOOD• PARODY • SATIRE• IRONY• METAPHOR• PERSONIFICATION• ALLUSION• CITE

• ALLUSION• THEME• GENRE• FORESHADOWING• FLASH BACK

By the end of the unit, I will have a good understanding of what each of these terms means; I will be able to identify examples of each of these terms and explain how their use deepens the meaningof the text

Who do you think these people are?Where do you think they are?

Who do you think they are talking to?

READ THE FOLLOWING “QUOTE”"I was walking down the road with two friends when

the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I

stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling

unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched

over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking,

while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard

the enormous infinite scream of nature.”

on paper.

DAY 2

Read the following information, then view the oil painting on the next slide

Between 1893 and 1910, the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) did several versions of "The Scream,” in oil, pastel, and

lithograph. Compare the different “moods” and effects of this

painting. Does the difference in “art” medium change the effect? For example, does the stark contrast of the black-and-

white lines in the lithograph (next slide) mirror the disconnect between the man's mood and the peaceful surroundings more effectively than the other versions

(subsequent slides)?

HOW DOES THE QUOTECHANGE YOUR VIEW?

"I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I

stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard

the enormous infinite scream of nature.”

Two years later, Munch produced the black and white lithograph. Why? Use evidence from the paintings and

Munch’s quote to support your ideas.

THE SCREAM – EDVARD

MUNCH - 1895 LITHOGRAPH

THE “QUOTE”According to Munch’s personal diaries, the idea for the modern art painting The Scream came to him while looking down over the Norwegian landscape

from an elevation. While a mountaintop or a scenic view from a summit might sound like a beautiful natural landscape to paint, Munch’s personal

interpretation of “nature” below was very different than you might imagine."I was walking down the road with two friends when the

sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling

unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard

the enormous infinite scream of nature.”Have you ever responded to “nature” in this way?
