    Study Notes

    Performance Analysis

    • Performance analysis involves understanding narrative, thesis, and hidden meanings in plays, operas, ballets, dances, or movies.
    • Narrative is a connected story explaining how events build on each other. It typically follows an arc from exposition, rising action, climax, to denouement.
    • Thesis is the central claim or argument of a performance. It's inferred, not explicitly stated, and can be discovered by identifying a main theme and how the performance treats that theme (e.g., 'love always wins,' 'dying for one's country is justified').
    • Clues to themes and meaning can be found in set design, symbolism, and genre conventions.

    Responding to Art Forms (Non-Literary)

    • Good responses to non-literary art forms are thoughtful, specific, and detailed.
    • Prewriting and questioning (context, content, absence) are helpful for formulating responses.
    • Examples of good responses are provided through analyzed case studies.

    Connotation and Denotation

    • Connotation and denotation are different ways to interpret words.
    • Denotation: The literal dictionary meaning of a word.
    • Connotation: The implied feelings, or secondary meaning, associated with a word (positive, neutral, or negative).
    • Connotations shape meaning and impact.

    Understanding Texts: Prior Knowledge, Context Clues, Word Structure

    • Prior knowledge (past experiences, reading, studying) helps with understanding texts.
    • Context clues surrounding unfamiliar words are useful for determining those words' meanings.
    • Word structure (roots, prefixes, suffixes) helps decode unknown words.

    Word Analogies and Connotations

    • Connotation is the emotional feeling of a word.
    • Denotation is a word's dictionary meaning.
    • Synonyms (similar meanings) can have different connotations.
    • Analogies are comparisons of similar relationships between dissimilar things (e.g., under : over :: fast : slow).
    • Different types of analogies (synonyms, antonyms, classification, cause-effect, part-whole, characteristic).

    Vocabulary Building Resources

    • Dictionaries, glossaries, and thesauruses help increase vocabulary knowledge.
    • Utilize reliable online and print resources.

    Prewriting Techniques

    • Prewriting is an initial stage in the writing process.
    • Prewriting techniques help writers focus on the prompt.
    • Brainstorming, mapping, and freewriting are examples of prewriting techniques.
    • Outlines are helpful for organizing ideas.

    Writing Process: Organization

    • Organizing writing is important.
    • The writing process includes brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising or editing.
    • Knowing the audience and purpose will strengthen the writing.
