Teaching Literary Criticism with Taylor Swift / Moore English

Literary criticism is one of my favorite ways to help students analyze texts at depth and to help students understand the relevance of diverse texts. Introducing literary theory can be tricky, but you can introduce most types of lit crit with Taylor Swift songs! This post teaches you how to use T.Swift's songs for biographical, historical, feminist, Marxist, formalist, and deconstructionist criticism! Perfect for AP Literature classes and secondary ELA!

The Unreliable Narrator: Narrative Writing Practice

This product comes with a refresher over what an unreliable narrator is and the types, a specific prompt about what students need to write, a rubric, and a space to write their narrative piece in. It is one thing to talk about the unreliable narrator and to identify them, but it is another thing to put it into practice! Students are to create a story that focuses on an unreliable narrator. They are to think about various things that they may have read throughout the course of their learning about unreliable narrators.The unreliable narrator is fun to teach in conjunction with things like Edgar Allan Poe or any other story where these elements are present OR even by itself! Happy teaching!
