To prepare for the end-of-unit multi-paragraph essay, class members review Rainer Maria Rilke's collection, Letters to a Young Poet, and David Mitchell's Black Swan Green and identify central ideas in both texts. Writers then formulate a claim about a similar centrality to both texts and select evidence they have collected on their worksheets to support their claim.

Instructional Ideas

  • Provide writers with the rubric, attached to the next lesson, that will be used to evaluate the essay and answer any questions they may have about the criteria

Classroom Considerations

  • The 10th in an 11-lesson unit that uses Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet and David Mitchell's Black Swan Green as anchor texts
  • The lesson presumes class members have experience crafting multi-paragraph, expository essays

Pros

  • The 12-page packet includes the plan, discussion questions and model responses, and the essay assignment sheet

Cons

  • A rubric is not included on the assignment sheet; however, it is included in the next lesson
