Grade 10 ELA Module 1: Unit 1, Lesson 3

This Grade 10 ELA Module 1: Unit 1, Lesson 3 lesson plan also includes:

Poets write love letters all the time, but how often do the objects of their love write back? Compare Christopher Marlowe's "A Passionate Shepard to His Love" to Sir Walter Raleigh's response, "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" with an engaging language arts lesson. Tenth graders draw comparisons between the poems, focusing on the ways that the structure and word choice impacts the tone of each poem.
