This Analyzing Powerful Language: Learning to Read lesson plan also includes:
The power of a word. Readers learn the importance of word choice in shaping a text by using a Powerful Language T-chart to separate strong words and phrases from those that are more bland. They then complete a third read and question set of the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Learners end the lesson by going on a word hunt for powerful words to add to a word wall.
