Essay Writing - The Literary Analysis Essay: Putting Pen to Paper

In high school English classes, students read a novel or piece of literature, and they are told to write an essay. They may have a few class discussions of the literature, and they may get some help with a thesis statement, but usually, they don't get the instruction they need. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠!High school students must read literature, think deeply about the essential ideas, and synthesize all of it into an essay. 😳 This is no easy task!  

🧠 Learners have to know how to: 
-do a close read of a literary text. 
-understand the text
-analyze and evaluate a text
-synthesize background information with an interpretation of the text
-organize all of these ideas
-prepare evidence, analysis, counter-arguments, and rebuttals
-present the ideas in a broad, relevant context
-write a beautiful essay

🚨 Students deserve more explicit instruction and support. This is a better way. We break all of this into digestible components, so students can master the concepts, thinking, and skills. We know what they need to have success.

• Specific, not general
• Immediate, not postponed
• Routine with a revision / feedback cycle
• Explanatory
• The right amount
• Targeted to the most critical issues
• Varied (written, audio, and video comments)
• Holding students accountable
