How to use Sticky Notes studying literature

Sticky Note Discussions




Guidelines for students in preparation for literature study groups (fiction):

As you read, note…

• Tension: excitement, suspense, nervousness; anticipation that keeps us turning pages

• Character: conversations, actions; descriptions that teach us about the characters

• Place and time: descriptions that paint mind-pictures; sections creating time and place

• Mood: feelings of reader, characters; parts that arouse emotions

• Symbols: symbols contributing to mood, tension or resolution; what they represent

• Point of View: first or third person; how point of view influences thoughts and feelings about characters

• Other literary devices
