This lesson aligns with the national standards for English Language Arts by promoting reading comprehension, analysis, and critical thinking skills.
Students will find an example of an author’s craft in a book or story they've engaged with and write a brief analysis of the technique, focusing on how it affected their understanding or enjoyment of the text. The analysis should be submitted to the teacher for review, but there will be no presentations in class.
