Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm Up Answer these questions in complete sentences: What is the definition of summary? What is the definition of analysis? How are the two ideas different?

  2. Activity • Summarize each of the following paintings.

  3. Summary • Definition: Presenting information in a quick or precise way, listing the most important details (What?) • A summary may include • Who: those involved • What: the event or topic being covered • When: time, period, era, night or day • Where: the location, distance, or place • Why: the cause or causes • How: the process(es)

  4. Analysis • Definition: Breaking down a piece of information into its smaller parts, then determining each part’s individual importance, along with how the parts all work together for a desired effect (Why?) • You examine the summary elements described before to look for their meaning in these contexts:

  5. Talk about these 6 things: • Relationships, trends, patterns • Roles of people, places, objects, situations • Consequences or results of events, decisions, and processes • Causes and their effects • Advantages and disadvantages/ gains and losses • Strengths and weaknesses

  6. Analysis Should Include • Observation: WHAT you see right in front of you in the text. • Interpretation: HOW does the author use that information? What does it mean to the work as a whole? • Significance: WHY is it important? I should never have to write “Why?” on your writing. You should always answer the why in your analysis!

  7. How are they different? • A summary will simply RESTATE what you already read, or know, or could read on the page. No new thoughts or information is added to discussion. • An analysis will look at the reasons why an author or writer would choose to use certain words, images, ideas, or a certain style to convey meaning (theme) or feeling/ attitude (tone).

  8. Examples: Summary • [Odysseus] tells of the arrival at the land of the wild and lawless Cyclopes, giants with a single eye who dwell alone and have no culture. Odysseus had ventured with twelve picked men into the cave of Polyphemus, a Cyclops and son of Poseidon. He requested hospitality, but the Cyclops, scorning the gods and the ways of men, devoured two of Odysseus' companions. Next morning, he breakfasted on another two, and imprisoned the rest in the cave. Odysseus lulled the monster to sleep with wine and then drove a sharpened stake into his eye. Polyphemus called out for help, but when his fellows responded to his cries, he announced that "Noman" harmed him-for Odysseus had told the Cyclops that Noman was his name. Odysseus and his men ultimately escaped by binding themselves to the underside of Polyphemus' sheep. Odysseus taunted the monster from his ship, and Polyphemus invoked the curse of his father, Poseidon (hence the god's enmity toward Odysseus). With his twelve ships, Odysseus sailed to Aeolia. - “Odyssey Summary Book IX”. 2000 – 2010. Jalic Inc.

  9. Examples: Analysis • …But for every lapse in judgment on his part, Odysseus devises an equally ingenious plan to escape trouble. Prior to the Polyphemos episode, he wisely steers his crew away from the land of the hedonistic, drug-addled Lotus Eaters, knowing that succumbing to temptation there will prevent them from the more authentic pleasures of home. With Polyphemos, he comes up with three brilliant ideas: crafting a spike to blind Polyphemos in his one vulnerable spot; calling himself "Nohbdy" so that the other Cyclopes will not know who blinded Polyphemos; and fashioning the slings under the rams for escape. In each instance, a man of lesser tactical ability would have gone for the simpler solution (killing Polyphemos when he was sleeping by the doorway; revealing his name right away; trying to run by Polyphemos) with destructive consequences. -”Odyssey Study Guide”. 1999-2010.

  10. Why is the 2nd better? • The 2nd paragraph I showed you was not listing facts without connecting them to a main idea- for this example the idea that Odysseus is cunning and a strong leader. All the characteristics (although not quoted) are FACTS and then the analysis EXPLAINS WHY they are important in understanding the scene and the overall story!

  11. Are you summarizing or analyzing? • Your Archetype Map directions state, in step 4, that you need to “Analyze” how quotes from the Odyssey represent either EPIC THEME or a step in the HERO’S CYCLE (JOURNEY). This means you need to connect your quote to the “big picture” in your own words. WHY does this quote help you understand the “big picture”?

  12. Check: • Take out your archetype maps for Chapter 10: Circe. On the back side of your map, you should have 2 quotes with a 4-5 sentence analysis of each. Have you done this? Does it fit our definition of analysis, or are you summarizing? Revise your paragraph if you need to.

  13. See some student examples: • On the document camera- examples of good maps and good analysis!
