Impact of word choice on meaning and tone


Description

In this first lesson of grade 11, students are introduced to Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) and close reading for textual details. Students begin an exploration of Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess.” They listen to a masterful reading of the poem and begin to analyze the first 8 lines of this text. In evidence-based discussion, students analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone in the introductory lines of the poem (RL.11-12.4). Students learn to cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support their analysis.
