Lesson plan elaborated by: Magdalena Trysińska

Topic:

Stylisation and its types.

Target group:

3rd‑grade students of a high school.

II. Language education.

1. Grammar of the Polish language. Student:

4) understands the role of word order in a sentence and defines the role of its transformations in building the meaning of expression.

2. Differentiation of language. Student:

The course of classes

Introduction

1. The teacher states the subject of the lesson, explains the aim of the lesson and together with students determines the success criteria to be achieved.

2. The teacher displays a photo gallery of the task on the board 1. Students discuss the meaning of the word „stylization” - on the basis of the presented photos and their own experiences indicate the areas of knowledge, art, life, in which it is used (eg interior stylized in a rural hut; in Scandinavian styling, etc.).

Realization

1. Students complement the family word scheme with the „style” core (exercise 2); on the basis of word form definitions they guess the missing words.

2. The teacher asks students what elements of the world can be found in stylization. The participants of the course should mention primarily the dialectization and archaization known from earlier stages of education. Overview of information in a table presenting the functions of different types of styling. Students give examples of various implementations.

3. Performing exercises 3‑6 in abstract.

4. Work in pairs with fragments of literary texts (Exercise 7). Students write in abstract what type of stylization is represented by given examples.

5. Students in pairs prepare their own example of a dialogue in which they will apply the selected type of stylization. After the appointed time they present their work on the class forum. Together with the teacher they discuss their projects.

Summary

1. The teacher asks a willing student to summarize the lesson from his point of view. He asks other students if they would like to add anything to their colleague's statements.

2. The teacher asks summarizing questions, e.g.
   - What is the use of stylization for?
   - What is regional styling?
   - Give examples of archaisms.

Homework

1. Listen to the abstract recording at home. Pay attention to pronunciation, accent and intonation. Learn to pronounce the words learned during the lesson.

Stylisation and its types

In philological science, the word stylisation refers to a conscious and deliberate application of the features characteristic to one style into a written or oral utterances that represent another style.

Texts can adopt various styles, e.g. regional or professional, as well as functional or genre‑related. The language of such texts can also be adapted to former eras.
Dialogues are styled in order to make them more realistic and to reproduce their regional tone. Stylisation also helps to characterise protagonists and their background. Other stylisation aims include ridiculing, parodying certain types of language or their ennoblement (e.g. creating a sublime mood).
