Play Critical Theory & Literary Lenses free

Grade 12 critical theory introduces literary lenses—formalist, historical, feminist, Marxist, postcolonial, reader-response—as tools for asking different questions of the same text. Students compare what each lens notices and still ground claims in textual detail. A lens is a method, not a verdict that other readings are forbidden.
