Instructional Ideas

Classroom Considerations
- The resource includes a rubric for the extra essay, but not for the main essay
- The plan provides a sample evidence chart (for preparing the essay); you will likely want to create your own blank chart, or have students draw their own in their notebooks
- Note that you will need several days to complete all of the steps
