Directions: During the course of the semester, you will read novels, plays, poetry and short stories. The
purpose of this table, and the others like it, is to organize what you are reading in order to gather
information for your Senior Research Paper. Along with other AP classes, you will create a
comprehensive list of texts and how they may fit into the different archetypal categories taken from
How to Read Literature like a Professor. You should pay attention while you are reading (independently
or as a class) to gather examples to place in these tables. Once you identify an example, follow the
directions below:
First, find the appropriate chapter that corresponds to your example. Then, in the left column, write
your name and your class period. In the center column, write the title and author of the work followed
by an explanation of how a specific element of the work fits into the archetypal category. You do not
have to explain the entire work, just one specific element. Finally, in the right column, list the search
term that associates with the chapter, and a few additional search terms that very easily summarize the
main points of your explanation. Review the search terms that are already used to see if you can reuse
current terms, but dont feel the need to fit the existing ones. When finished, add any new search terms
to the search-term word bank.
