Learning Objectives 
  • Students will learn that removing text from its original context enhances and/or changes its original meaning.
  • Students will learn that literature is a web. An idea rests in the middle, language tethers texts together.
  • Students will learn that all acts of interpretation present a power relationship between author and reader.
  • Students will learn that reading is an interactive, multidimensional experience.
  • Guiding Questions: What happens to meaning when language is taken out of its original context? What forms connections between words and texts? What power does a reader have? What power does an author have?​ What power does a word have?
Performance Task
  • Students will take 1-3 sentences or lines out of a text.
  • ​Students will write those lines onto a piece of poster board.
  • Using Electric paint, string, or other conductive surfaces/objects, students will accent and emphasize words that connect with other texts.
  • Students will link the conductive surface/object to a line (read by student), sentence (typed by student), scene (shown on Ipad) from another class's text.
  • When audience members/participants engage with each emphasized word and art exhibit, the linked material will play.
  • Students will create interactive pieces that blend text, sound, and video.
