In Module 2B, Unit 2 collection, eighth-graders finish reading A Midsummer Night's Dream. They collect evidence of characters trying to control one another and examine how Shakespeare drew on the myth of "Pyramus and Thisbe" in his play. To end the unit, they begin work on an argument essay by examining a model essay and crafting a claim, then planning, drafting, and revising their essay.
