Instructional Ideas
- Have class members brainstorm a list of childhood memories they might use as inspiration for their writings
- Use the first discussion question to model how to draw evidence from Rilke's letter to support a response
Classroom Considerations
- The second in an 11-lesson unit that uses "Letter One" from Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet as an anchor text
- Text is not available in this resource, but you can find it in the attached complete unit
Pros
- The nine-page packet includes an overview of the lesson, the plan, discussion questions with model responses, and a homework assignment
Cons
- Some class members may need additional modeling to understand how to use evidence from a text to support an analysis
