Annoyed or bewitched—how does an author's word choice affect a text? Scholars begin the instructional activity by analyzing word choice in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Next, learners take a closer look at the narrative structure of the Greek myth "Pyramus and Thisbe" to explain how a text's structure contributes to its meaning.
