The main focus of this lesson is to teach students how to compare and contrast themes, settings, and plots in stories written by the same author.
The lesson includes activities like comparing images, reading two poems by Ruth Gilmore Ingulsrud, identifying similarities/differences between them and an independent practice activity where students determine if sentences reflect a similarity or difference.
The lesson concludes with a summary reiterating the concepts learned during the session. Additionally, students are provided with a takeaway handout for further practice at home.
