Both before and as we read "The Pedestrian', we will focus on Connotation & Denotation (Diction)
1. Diction Activity (Peeling Back the Layers/Pre-Reading Activity #1: focus on words/denotation vs connotation) 2. Style Activitiy (Peeling Back the Layers/ Pre-Reading Activity #2: focus on phrases/figurative language) Next, as you read, you should "Read Like a Reader" & mark the text-- make predictions, inferences, judgements, and connections, and ask questions if you are unsure of something! For your second reading (after listening to the audio), you will answer the "close reading" questions on your own and the "deeper thinking" questions with a group.
