REVIEW your rubric to see what is expected for the Popplet and Literary Analysis Essay.

Students will read assigned texts or novels. While reading the texts or novels students will mark significant quotes, passages, and words. (If reading texts, students may use the Side-by-Side app.)

Students will mark any literary elements or devices – suspense, humor, dramatic irony, allusion, biases, etc. Students will review story elements – point of view, plot, characterization/dialogue, setting, etc.

Students will open the Popplet Lite app.

You will be comparing/contrasting ideas and structures to create a CONTROLLING IDEA. (This will be the outline for your literary analysis).

THEN, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CREATE A POPPLET. (See my student example for ideas.)

Send me the Popplet via email – PDF (document)
