- 1. Guided Annotation Task – Pair / Group Text Analysis Step 1 – Preparation Begin with these two videos and take rough notes to give you scope for your analysis: https://youtu.be/WfNiQBXmPw8 (Lordof the Flies: CrashCourse Literature 305) https://youtu.be/VPKMpRu2DKI (UnderstandingSymbolisminLordof the Flies) Search YouTube for the key words of your text and the chapter you are doing. (A good place to start is with the channels: ‘MrBruff’, ‘MrsSperry.com’ and ‘SSummaries’) Some key words to help you search are: ‘analysis’, ‘key quotes’ and ‘summary’. Make sure to avoid assorted adults reading out the novel, this will not help you with your analysis.
