“War” by Timothy Findley (in Viewpoints 12)
Students will watch a video on this story in order to demonstrate how much more in-depth the readings are.
We will then discuss it as a class, looking at similarities, differences and the different interpretations that came from the viewing versus the reading.
Test Prep
We will discuss the exam so students will not be too worried
The in-class essay will be a critical literary essay (not personal: no “I” or anecdotes)
Students will need to make sure they know the summaries of three short stories we studied in class (“Outside Edges”, “Miss. Brill”, “The War”) as well as the names of the author’s and purpose of each.
I will only expect them to write on one of these to prove their point in relation to the theme I give them.
I will present them with a piece of reading (short) and a theme it shows and then expect them to develop their understanding of this theme using one of the pieces above.
