Lesson:
This week, we discussed the story the students had read for their first literary analysis essay. We talked through the various literary elements such as point of view, nature of conflict, symbolism, and so on, and discussed how to feature those in their essays.
Assignment:
Students are to write five-paragraph literary analysis essays of the story they have analyzed. The three body paragraphs should discuss the author's use of setting, character, and theme, in that order. Other elements may be discussed in the intro paragraph or in whatever body paragraph suits best. Quoted excerpts are to be woven into the essay.
