Lesson:
We went over the timed in-class essays the students had completed, discussing strategies to address specific strengths and weaknesses.
The rest of the class period was devoted to how to write more advanced compare/contrast essays.
Assignment:
Each student will write a five-paragraph, block-style, compare/contrast essay, on a non-literary topic. (The literary prohibition is primarily because these students are so literary already that I want to nudge them out of that comfort zone a bit. Besides, we will be writing many literary analysis papers soon.)
