I  want to teach my students metaphors and imagery.
2. One particular challenge that I face is the explanation of imagery. It is hard for them to see the link between imagery and images. They are also unable to transfer the skills from one text to another. They also face issues when talking about effects of these devices.

Students tend to give one word/short phrases as elaboration.]]> 2022-08-19 06:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265236565 Mun Yee https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237099 1. I want to teach sound devices and imagery. 
2. The challenges with teaching sound devices is that the effect / outcome / intention of sound devices tend to be abstract and difficult (even for the teacher!) to explain or link to overall meaning. As for imagery, trying to get students to specify + correctly identify is something I struggle with. ]]> 2022-08-19 06:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237099 Amira msamira https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237210 1) Two devices/ features
- diction
- imagery

2)
students can identify the literary devices but do not know how to explain its effects. the textbook helps with the 'steps' of thinking or analysis but putting it into practice/ words can be a challenge. ]]> 2022-08-19 06:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237210 Cavell https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237229 The nuances of language, especially for Shakespeare, and nuances in tone

Some of the challenges are my students have a weak command of language so they find it difficult to understand and grasp the nuances]]> 2022-08-19 06:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237229 Teaching them to read with attention, see patterns in the writing and be able to unpack evocative words to make meaning https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237710 2022-08-19 06:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237710 https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237774 1. I want to teach (poetic) Form and Structure
2. Students may be unable to (i) identify significance of the F/S and if they could, they are unable to (ii) articulate its effects ]]> 2022-08-19 06:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265237774 Wee Suan goh_weesuan https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265238469 1. Imagery, sound devices
2. They don’t know how to explain clearly. Usually they also find that it’s hard to read because of their pronunciation or the way they read. . ]]> 2022-08-19 06:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/limcheekam/ohuperintbgjv12x/wish/2265238469
