Instructional Ideas
  • Provide groups with model college application narratives and ask them to highlight and identify the various techniques the writers employ
Classroom Considerations
  • The seven-lesson unit builds on two previous ones that introduced the college essay assignment and used The Autobiography of Malcolm X and "Yellow Woman and a Beauty of the Spirit" as models of narrative writing
  • In addition to working on their college application essays, individuals begin reading their Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) text
Pros
  • The nine-page packet includes the plan, discussion questions with model responses, and a homework assignment
Cons
  • No list of suggested titles for the Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) texts is provided
