1. Make a short summary of the chapter 4 & 5 in about 100 words

2. Make a characterization of the protagonist.

   - Use the table above to make your characterisation:

Aim: to learn about adjectives, their function.

1.A. Find out what an adjective is - and its function - make notes (5 min.). 

1.B. Find all the adjectives in the text below (10 min.)

   - What is the effect of these adjectives on the text?:

It was broad daylight when Anne awoke and sat up in bed, staring confusedly at the window through which a flood of cheery sunshine was pouring and outside of which something white and feathery waved across glimpses of blue sky.

For a moment she could not remember where she was. First came a delightful thrill, as something very pleasant; then a horrible remembrance. This was Green Gables and they didn’t want her because she wasn’t a boy!

But it was morning and, yes, it was a cherry-tree in full bloom outside of her window. With a bound she was out of bed and across the floor. She pushed up the sash—it went up stiffly and creakily, as if it hadn’t been opened for a long time, which was the case; and it stuck so tight that nothing was needed to hold it up.

Anne dropped on her knees and gazed out into the June morning, her eyes glistening with delight. Oh, wasn’t it beautiful? Wasn’t it a lovely place? Suppose she wasn’t really going to stay here! She would imagine she was. There was scope for imagination here.

Use this guide to interpret the film

1. Determine the type of film.

2. Analyse setting, characters, narrator and theme.

3. Use a shot by shot analysis of a scene to supplement your analysis, e.g. your character analysis. This is where you use cinematic techniques such as framing, angle, composition.

4. Determine the type of sound used in the film. When does the filmmaker make use of diegetic, non-diegetic or contrapuntal sound and which effect does it have?

5. Determine the type of lighting and colour used. When does the filmmaker make use of the different types of lighting and colours and why?

6. Analyse the film by looking at the narrative structure and the three-act structure model.

7. TIP: When doing a shot by shot analysis, you can download a VLC media player. This can be used to make still images in the film which you can then analyse in detail.

You can use the attached template for film analysis to write down your own analysis when watching a film as part of your English curriculum.

Characterization

1. Make a characterization of the protagonist - as you did with Anne of Green Gables: https://padlet.com/marsilie/3r-canada-pwj0667r1ty8zl7b/wish/YBl3Z2JymYJJZv16

2. Compare the two protagonists.

   1. How are they similar?

   2. How are they different?

Memories. Some memories are elusive, fleeting, like a butterfly that touches down and is free until it is caught.

Others are haunting: you’d rather forget them, but they won’t be forgotten. And some are always there. No matter where you are, they are there too. I always felt most of my memories were better avoided, but now I think it’s best to go back in my life before I go forward. Last month, April 18th, I celebrated my twenty-fourth birthday. That’s still young, but I feel so old.

My father, Henry Raintree, was of mixed blood, a little of this, a little of that, and a whole lot of Indian. My sister, Cheryl, who was eighteen months younger than me, had inherited his looks: black hair, dark brown eyes that turned black when angry, and brown skin. There was no doubt they

were both of Indian ancestry. My mother, Alice, on the other hand, was part Irish and part Ojibway. Like her, I had pale skin, not that it made any difference when we were living together as a family.

We lived in Norway House, a small northern Manitoba town, before my father contracted tuberculosis. Then we moved to Winnipeg. I used to hear him talk about TB and how it had caused him to lose everything he had worked for. Both

my Mom and Dad took medicine, and I always thought it was because of TB. Although we moved from one rundown house to another, I remember only one, on Jarvis Avenue. And of course, we were always on welfare. I knew that from the way my Dad used to talk. Sometimes he would put himself down, and sometimes he counted the days till he could walk down to the place where they gave out cheques and food stamps.

1.    What are your initial perceptions of Canada as a nation?

Canada as a nation has been ever changing throughout the years, by the colonization of the indigenous people, the shaping of Canada by France, Britain and America.

2.    How do you think Canada’s relationship with its indigenous people, France and Britain has influenced its historical development?

Those historical influences have contributed to the ongoing challenges phased by indigenous communities in Canada, including issues related to the land rights, cultural preservation, and social inequalities.

3.    What role do you think geography has played in the shaping of Canada’s history and identity?

Geography has had a big part of the shaping since the other countries will have wanted a part of the land that, since it was rich and bountiful, and because of how close it was to the other places, such as America and Russia.

You will continue to characterize Anne Shirley.

Write an essay in 400-500 words in which you characterize Anne. You may choose other characters and examples if you want:

Hand in the essay in Opgaver in Lectio - do as much as you can.

I want you to focus on Anne's relationships and her feelings. Choose 2 of these examples and elaborate:

• For example Anne has temper - when and how does she have a temper?

• Anne is very romantic and has a great imagination - Where do you see this in this "film".

• Anne is very close to Diana - how is that visible?

• Anne is opposed to Gilbert - where do you see this, and why do you think that is?

• Anne grows closer to Marilla - When and how do you see this?

We will continue to watch Anne of Avonlea

Make sure to include:

• One or two points from Characterization section below

• One or two points from either historical context, critical perspectives and/or discussion questions below.

Elaborating on Characterization - Tools for Analysis:

• Who are the characters, and what do we learn about them? (Age, appearance, family situation, background, education, job, language, thoughts, opinions)

• Are all characters introduced at once, or do they appear gradually?

• Who is the main character? Why do you consider him/her the main character?

• Do the characters’ personalities remain the same throughout the story or do they develop?

• What causes this development or change?

• Are the characters flat or round, simple or complex characters?

• Do the characters’ names tell us something about their personalities?

• Do the characters’ appearances and language tell us something about their personalities or status?

Historical Context

1. Social Norms and Gender Roles: Investigate how the films portray gender roles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (1890s - 1900s). Discuss how Anne challenges these norms.

2. Cultural Significance: Discuss the significance of the Canadian setting and how it shapes the story’s themes.

Critical Perspectives

1. Feminist Critique: Analyze the films through a feminist lens, focusing on Anne as a strong, independent female character.

2. Post-Colonial Reading: Explore how the portrayal of rural Canadian life reflects broader themes of colonialism and identity.

Discussion Questions

1. What are the most significant turning points in Anne’s life, and how do they contribute to her character development?

2. How do the films portray the concept of "home"? What does it mean for Anne and how does it evolve?

3. In what ways do the films highlight the importance of community and belonging?

How to read a non-fiction text

Guide to Documentary Analysis

1. Write a short summary of the documentary.

2. Determine the type of documentary - remember to write down arguments for how you can see that it is a particular type of documentary.

3. Identify the main message of the documentary.

4. Analyse the documentary:

   • What is the filmmaker's purpose with the documentary?

   • What is the argument of the documentary and which claims are made?

   • Is the backing for the claims reliable?

   • Is the attitude/viewpoint of the filmmaker visible in the documentary?

   • What cinematic techniques are used to support the claims/viewpoint and how are they used?

   • Do the type and structure of documentary help achieve its purpose?

   • Is there a use of appeal forms to support the main message and how are they used?

5. Do a shot by shot analysis of a few scenes which supports your analysis.

6. TIP: Remember to take screenshots as quotes to back up your analysis. When doing a shot by shot analysis, you can download a VLC media player. This can be used to make still images in the documentary which you can then analyse in detail.
