Solo work: What do you aspire to do with your writing? What writers do you look up to and want to be like? How are you going to excite your reader and encourage them to read? What two goals do you have for the next essay?
Large group: What are the components of a successful compare/contrast essay? What makes a good comparison great? What do you as the reader want to experience?
In groups of four ...
1. Presenter presents. Partners listen. (3 mins) Talk out the points you're comparing, the details, the ideas. Listeners listen, take notes (think about what stands out, what you'd like to know, etc).
2. Listeners report back. Presenter listens. (3 mins) What did you hear? What do you want to know? What needs elaborating? Share your thoughts and insights.
3. Repeat until everyone has told their story.
