A critical lens is a way of looking at a particular work of literature by focusing on style choices, plot devices, and character interactions and how they show a certain theme.  

 

 

Please paste your entry below:  

 

Option A) Read the short story "The Secret Life of WalterMitty" and write a critique.

**This story can be found as a page under the "Journal Entry" tab in our class OneNote 

 

Option B) choose a show or movie you've watched recently and write a critique from a literary lens.

Distance Learning Expectations

For the rest of this semester, we will be moving to Journal Entries.

I won't able to upload the movies due to streaming rights so I will ask that you have a journal entry analyzing the literature elements of whatever it is you are watching. I know you are all watching at least something! 
 
I created a journal entry tab in one note and using the analyzing tab pick something you want to focus on and create a journal entry for the week. 
Ask any questions if you need clarification!
