<p> Year-Long Glossary Project Literary Devices and Terms</p><p>AP Lit and Comp 2015</p><p>Over the course of each semester you will be asked to complete a number of literary device entries (typically one per week). In general, you will be able to select the device that you wish to use; there are, however, several mainstay devices we will discuss in class that you will be required to include.</p><p>I will provide a list of appropriate literary terms/devices. Your examples may come from any of the works assigned, or that we read in class, or the novel you have chosen for your outside reading. </p><p>You may choose to write, in ink, in a composition book, or you may type, using MLA rules/formatting ---which will be checked regularly, and receive a cumulative grade at the end of each semester. The “function” section of this project is authentic, student composition. </p><p>Ultimately, you will submit all entries to Ms. Allari (turnitin, Moodle, or the ePortfolio--- more information at a later date); note: though the term will come from outside sources, the application section will not – plagiarism will not be tolerated. </p><p>Format</p><p> Term: Definition of the literary device selected</p><p> Example: Quotation, followed by source, including author, title, </p><p> page/line number</p><p> Function: Author’s purpose in employing this device at this point </p><p> in the work. How does this particular device enhance what the writer seeks to convey? You may comment on theme, character, setting, or whatever else is important in explaining how the device functions in this particular instance. (As you are AP students, I know that you would like parameters--- this commentary should be in-depth, original, and focused....*). I expect at least 2 CB pages for each entry, or one pages entry per term if you use your iPad or MSW (one page).</p><p>I will recommend some online sources, but if you wish to purchase a handbook for terms, consider Penguin’s Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, NTC’s Dictionary of Literary Terms, or The Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms. You may also use the links on my Bulletin Board.; I also have many links on my HW page in Resources.
