Essential Mini Lessons - Set 16 - Making Literary Judgements

Tour this set here.
Note: This set is available in a discounted bundle of sets 11-20, available here.
 
In this set of ten editable mini lessons students how to make LITERARY JUDGEMENTS - aka evaluating texts or literary criticism - developing skills in responses to texts and critical thinking.  This resource focuses on:
☝ The lens through which we view texts, and which is created by our experiences, beliefs and values.
☝ The expectations we have of a text or genre before and during our reading.
☝ The techniques used by the creator, the effects of those techniques and what we think about them.
☝ The 'So What?' What does this show us about our world or human behaviours, and why is this important/significant?
 
Lessons provide clear reference notes, examples and differentiated activities that reinforce understanding. Present, share online or print - all bases are covered! Answers are included, as is a bit of 'glitter' to add a touch of fun to end on a high note!
