Writing – Literary Essays
During this unit, students will learn how to write a literary essay! Students will write literary essays that develop a strong claim or thesis about a character or story then use textual evidence to support their claim. Students will also learn to transition seamlessly between reasons, evidence.
Through out the unit, students will read and reread a familiar short story, then a familiar novel, and eventually they work across two texts. In this way, they progress from simpler, more straightforward literary essays to those built around more complex theses to compare-and-contrast essays.
Attached below: The narrative writing checklist that students use to guide their work, self assess and set goals for their writing work.
