Lesson:
We read aloud and critiqued student papers, looking especially for how well the students discuss the literary elements and incorporate snippets of text to support their observations and opinions.
In general, the students are progressing well. We will continue to practice this type of essay, since it is so common is high school and college.
Assignment:
The students will read, reread, and make notes on a well-written short story in preparation for writing their next literary analysis essay.
I prefer that the students' next story be a work of Poe, specifically The Cask of Amontillado, which can be downloaded here.
(I thank Janine Angrisano for emailing all the students the link and vocabulary list, since my printer is not working properly.)
