Lesson 9

We will draft a written response to a prompt of our choosing.

Lesson Goals

Reading and Knowledge

  • Attend to Details: How well do I recognize and interpret language and sentence structures to deepen my understanding of texts?
  • Determine Meaning and Purpose: How well do I use connections among details, elements, and effects to make logical deductions about meaning in texts?

Writing

  • Form Claims: How well do I develop and clearly communicate a meaningful and defensible claim that represents a valid, evidence-based analysis?
  • Develop Ideas: How well do I cite evidence from texts to develop and support my explanation of an evidence-based claim?
  • Use Conventions to Produce Clear Writing: How well do I apply correct and effective syntax, usage, mechanics, and spelling to communicate ideas and achieve intended purposes?

Be sure to do the following:

  • Accurately integrate quotations from the play.

  • Properly cite the quotations.
