LESSON PLAN
Subtext: Pass the Salt
by Lindsay Price
Subtext is the underlying meaning in a text. What is a character thinking? Learning to apply subtext to a scene is an excellent character development tool. It encourages students to think about “the why” behind a line. “Why does a character say this line? Why do they use a particular inflection? What are they really trying to say?
In this lesson plan, students explore the meaning of subtext, practice applying subtext in dialogue and to create their own scene.
