We started off the year with a close reading technique: DIDLS
in general, write while you read- it's a conversation, and will grow your understanding and go deeper- you'll find patterns, have notes of first impressions
Diction
one word- not phrase
tone- colloquialism (from slang to epic language)
dialect
connotation and denotation
the ambiguity or tangibility (concrete v abstract)
Imagery
senses- how complete?
tied with poetry- language condensed to artistic effect
Details
specifics, no more than it sounds like
Language
poetic devices
Syntax
punctuation, meter, mechanical aspects and their effects
(sentence length, construction)
(effects pace, tone, emphasis)
we used these to analyze while discussing/annotating these books and plays (though, really, with all that we've talked about this year):
American Dream
Death of a Salesman
Ceremony
Pride and Prejudice
Hamlet
DIDLS were a huge part of what we did this year. However, we learned about other techniques too. I think it would serve you well to add some of the other terms we learned, such as any of the 600 repetition words (it certainly seemed like there were 600 anyway). They too will be needed to analyze on the AP.
