Instructional Ideas
- Post a graphic reminding class members that their essays should include an introductory statement introducing the topic of their response, well-organized textual evidence supporting the analysis, and a concluding statement summarizing the information presented in the response.
Classroom Considerations
- The fourth in an 11-lesson unit that uses Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet as an anchor text
- The writing exercise presumes class members have experience crafting timed, in-class essays
Pros
- The 10-page packet includes the writing prompt, examples of high-performance responses, and a link to the assessment rubric
- Writers are encouraged to use their notes, annotations, and quick writes as source materials
Cons
- Some readers may need additional support to stay on track with their independent reading assignment
