Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 16 AIL 1502 short lesson, about 20 seconds
What Orientation Is For
Captions available
The idea
Unit fifteen settled it: enough period expectation to know what a passage is likely to be doing before reading it closely. Not dates, not biographies, not plots. The test of an orientation fact is whether it changes how you read a first sentence.
In practice
Does it change the first sentence.
Where people slip
That is the whole test.
