05070 Literary Analysis and Reflective Writing 文学阅读与分析写作 Grade 5 (New Books)

Instructor: Dr. Katharine Sprecher

In 11 lessons, Katharine will lead students to read several books, analyze, and write reflective essays. 

Dr. Sprecher weaves in lessons on literary elements (plot, characters, setting, etc.) and literary devices such as figurative language, atmosphere, symbolism, and theme, while engaging students in developmentally appropriate, critical analyses that connect stories to real world events

She selected the following books, and will lead students to read, analyze, and write analytical essays

(1) Key Player by Kelly Yang

(2) Falling Short by Ernesto Cisneros

(3) Thirst by Varsha Bajaj

Reflective Writing builds on analysis by considering the learning you’ve gained from practical experience. The purpose of the reflection is to help you to make improvements for the future and, as such, it is a more ‘personal’ form of academic writing often using the first person. Evidence still has a key role in reflective writing; it’s not just about retelling your story and how you felt. And evidence in the case of reflection will include your own personal experience which adds to the discussion. Reflective writing focuses on future improvements and answers questions like ‘what next?’

Instructor: Sarah Bobson

This 11 weeks course will teach middle school students how to diagram sentences so they see the underlying structure of English grammar.

Students who understand the finer points of English grammar will apply this knowledge to their writing. For many students, boring old grammar lessons become understandable and fun.

Diagraming Sentences will help students of all ages learn how the parts of speech fit together to make clear and complete sentences. This 48-page book shows visual learners how to diagram sentences to help them understand why some sentences may not sound or look right.
