"Araby" by James Joyce - A Worksheet for a cooperative annotation
Submitted by scotese on Fri, 2009-05-01 05:41
James Joyce's "Araby" has long been one of my favorite stories. This year I wanted to do something different. The students read the story the night before and after they took their quiz, I gave them the attached worksheet. Students can work with partners - and they essentially annotate the text (I had given them a printed copy of the story) and write those annotations down to later be published on the Antext (electronic annotated text) of Araby on this website. The two crucial parts of this group work ask the students to find the epiphany and the cllimax of the story. Towards the end of the period I showed them the brief Power Point presentation (also attached) - and there is an amazing chorus of recognition in what most of them already suspected.

Araby Adaptation
We've produced an award-winning adaptation of James Joyce's short story "Araby."
“I use this WONDERFUL FILM as a TEACHING TOOL whenever I cover Joyce.”Prof. Jason Snart, College of DuPage, Published in EUREKA STUDIES IN TEACHING SHORT FICTION
“ The students LOVED the film! This OUTSTANDING adaptation definitely reinforced, ENHANCED, and ENRICHED the learning process. I plan to show it each time I teach "Araby." ” Charles Stelzried, High School English Teacher, LA Unified School District

Has anyone seen this movie?
I am thinking of teaching Araby again, and I was wondering if anyone had seen this film.
