Lesson Topic
Brainstorming and Intro of Literary Analysis Paper of Our Town
Lesson Outline
To start, Jake and I reviewed the main themes of Our Town because it had been so long since he had read it. Next we created a list of textual evidence displaying each of the three main themes of the play. Jake then wrote a short scene narrative as a hook for his upcoming paper and wrote a first draft of his thesis statement. We finished by discussing some of the enduring lessons the play has to offer a middle school student, which will help form the basis of his persuasive paper.

Lesson Comments
Jake's writing style is generally rushed and less articulate and developed than it could be. Today, we focused on getting his ideas on paper and next session we will work on adding details, persuasive phrasing, and transitions to help develop fluidity and more masterful rhetoric.
