The Ultimate Literary Analysis Essay Guide: 20 Mini-lessons for Success
- Zip
What educators are saying
Description
In this bundle, I have compiled 20 mini-lessons that take students through the entire writing process, step-by-step, from reading samples, to brainstorming, to drafting, to editing and revising, and to reflecting. This book bundle of lesson reflects lessons that I've developed throughout my teaching career. I have worked hard to construct a bundle that is practical and easy to follow for both teachers and students.
In fact, these lessons are built so that they are reproducible for teachers. You can simply take each mini-lesson and photocopy it for your students to complete as homework and/or in class. To make this guide even more accessible for teachers, each mini-lesson also contains differentiated modifications for you to use as needed, and there are also answer keys and models included where applicable.
