When it comes to love and midsummer nights, confessions are tricky. Learners place themselves in the shoes of a character from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and explain how a character manipulated another character in the play. After reading the entire play, individuals share ideas in both short answer and essay formats.

Instructional Ideas
- Differentiate the lesson for language learners by providing definitions, synonyms, or images for keywords such as justification, illumination, and gist
- When analyzing the rubric, consider having groups of two or more put a portion of the rubric into their own words
Classroom Considerations
- The Character Confessional draft requires resources completed in previous lessons
- Requires a copy of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which may be found in your school or public library as well as online in the public domain
Pros
- Provides a rubric, complete with an explanation for scoring the short answer assessment, and gives sample responses for assessment
- It contains suggestions for guided questions to facilitate one-on-one guidance during monitoring
Cons
- The language of question number two on the short answer assessment is a bit confusing
