We three teachers planned the lesson together for an AP Dual English 12 class.

Since we're in the last weeks of school, to gain their interest we presented the activity by asking for the students' assistance in creating a tool that we could use to teach underclassmen; the seniors were quite receptive. Tammie and I introduced ourselves, and Amy gave out the materials. Each of us talked about the diagram, illustrating the points we thought they’d find useful when analyzing literature. Amy reminded them of the analysis required on AP exams and explained the importance of “strong” imagery both in their own writing and in analyzing the writing of others. The students volunteered great ideas for the “Key Words” section and easily divided the words into the 3 columns. Amy called on several students to be sure all were participating. I closed by illustrating the usefulness of the definition statement for AP style thesis statements in writing essays. We felt successful in our development of a tool underclassmen could use to understand the difficult aspects of literary analysis.
