Lesson Plan

End of Unit Assessment: Commentary on Confessional

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What does commentary have to do with narrative? Before scholars explain the narrative choices in their Character Confessionals, they review provided commentary to explain the score they received on previous assessments. They review learning targets as a class before using the T-chart from lesson two to take the assessment.
