Objective: What exactly can I analyze about literature?
1- Students brainstormed a list of books they have recently read or books they are familiar with--they love these book; they can talk about the books.
2-Students watched the Book Trailers for the book Mistborn in order to better understand a student example essay that we read/discussed/analyzed as a class.

3- Students broke into groups and become an "expert" on one of the 9 things to consider when brainstorming for a literary analysis taken from the handout--Writing a Literary Analysis Paper
4- Students presented their 2 minute lesson to the class.
Homework: Students have two weeks to write a 2-3 page analysis (MLA format) on a book of their choice. They can focus on any of the 9 types of analysis that we discussed in class today. This paper is to be your best work, but I will use it to gauge where students are in their writing.
