Literary Analysis 

Anyone can be an expert close reader and writer.

Literary analysis requires thorough conceptual understandings, masterful ability to dissect and interpret text, and synthesis between the reader, the text's context, and the text itself. The more students engage with texts that speak to their realities, echo their cultural knowledge, and address the urgent demands of our time, the more students are transformed into insightful readers and writers. Practice is important and selecting the right texts for the right conversation for the right time is just as important. Literary analysis is one pathway towards authentically engaged readers and writers.
