Critical Lens Project

Purpose: This is a formative activity that will prep you and the class for the in-class essay you will write on Slaughterhouse-Five.    Using a lens to analyze a novel allows us to develop a greater depth of understanding about the novel’s themes, the writer’s craft, and the impact the text has on a broader scale.

Directions:  We’ve placed you in groups according to your interests.  So now, you need to go to the blog and follow the links of your lens.  Study those links and apply them to Slaughterhouse-Five.  Find specific scenes and quotes that seem to relate to or encapsulates parallel concepts found with your lens.  On Thursday, come prepared with notes, additional resources, and ideas about how to present your findings to the rest of the class. 
Finished Product:
·       Provide a visual element (e.g.a poster, collage, prezi)
·       Quotes or examples from Slaughterhouse-Five
·       A clear connection to your lens
·       Answer the “so what” question with your analysis
·       A 5-7 minute presentation where every group member participates
·       Think critically and creatively

Due Date: Monday, April 27

Points: 40 formative points
