ELT 303
MODULE 1 ACTIVITY SHEET

Instructions: Out from the following genres discussed in the module, choose at
least two (2) and provide an example (either book, movie, novel, etc.) of each of
the chosen genres. Then, explain why you consider it as an example of that
chosen genre.

Note: Explanation should not exceed to 5 sentences.

Genre 1: Action/Adventure

TITLE OF THE CHOSEN LITERARY SAMPLE: Avengers End Game (2019)

EXPLANATION: There must be a threat. The heroes must be enlisted. The villain
must be dramatized. Some personality flaws must be probed. And then there is
the final hour or so of special effects in which large mechanical objects engage in
combat, resulting in deafening crashes, explosions, and great balls of fire.

GENRE 2: Detective/Mystery

TITLE OF THE CHOSEN LITERARY SAMPLE: Scooby Doo

EXPLANATION: Scooby Doo took on the otherworldly, followed clues, and figured
out who was behind it all. The mysteries were set in eerie houses, dark
woodlands on full moon nights, crumbling ghost towns, or desolate museums
and circus grounds, which made up for the show's predictability. Scooby Doo
pretended to be a cartoon mystery but was actually unexpectedly gloomy, rife
with tension and tinged with terror that was diluted down with slapstick comedy.

MODULE 2 ACTIVITY SHEET

Instruction: Choose at least one (1) from following written works discussed earlier
and compose a short literary analysis using a specific literary approach (cited in
module 1 ) in critiquing the contemporary literature. Present your analysis in a
precise and direct manner (maximum of 5 sentences only).

1. The Water Dancer by La-Nehisi Coates

2. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur
3. The Bird Box by Josh Malerman

Chosen literary piece:

The Bird Box

Literary Approach Used in the Analysis:

Formalist Criticism

Short Analysis: It has an intriguing phraseology, and curiosity is one of the most
potent effects that keeps us intrigued. Malorie's early attitudes and her personality
getting stronger as events unfold are two of the strongest examples of development
in the novel. It has one of the most engrossing plots of any of the books I've read so
far. The tale brilliantly illustrates how afraid people and animals are about something
they can't see. This is a book that deserves every accolade it has gotten. It is without a
doubt one of the most excellent horror stories ever penned.

MODULE 4 ACTIVITY SHEET

Instructions: Analyze the two literary works and identify the symbols (object,
person, etc.) used by the author to drive home a message. Cite only one (1)
symbolism found on each of the literary piece below and paste the image of
symbol. After that, state its corresponding meaning with maximum of 3
sentences only.

Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

Symbolism:
Freedom

Maya Angelou utilizes trapped and free birds to represent the desire for
liberation. The poem uses the symbolism of a caged bird and a free bird to depict
the contrast between captivity and freedom, as well as their dreams and wishes.
The imprisoned bird sings for freedom," writes Dunbar, in the same way that
Maya strives for the freedom to pursue her dreams. The caged bird could also
represent other people, such as Uncle Willie, who is crippled, or Daddy Bailey,
who has never been allowed to live the life he desires.
The Guardians by John Grisham
Symbolism:
Flashlight

Manipulation is symbolized by this flashlight. Pfitzner manipulates the case

against Quincy by placing a flashlight in the trunk of Quincy's trunk, which is
splattered with animal blood. Pfitzner also skews the evidence by having June,
Quincy's ex-wife, testify that Quincy was carrying a flashlight. Due to the defective
nature of bite mark evidence, several trials depending on it have been overturned
since then. Duke's teeth, according to a reputed bite mark specialist, created
three nicks on Emily's arm. Years later, when it was revealed that the pubic hairs
found on Emily's body did not match Duke's DNA, the ruling was reversed.
