Lesson Plan

Text Comparisons: Comparing Text Structures and Text Types (Chapter 9)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Scholars revisit the comparisons they made in the previous lesson plan of "Incident" and To Kill A Mockingbird. They talk with their discussion appointment partners about the structure of a narrative and use a Compare and Contrast Note Catcher to guide their thinking. Readers begin chapter 9 of To Kill A Mockingbird and watch part of the novel's film.
