The goal here is to spend a week devoted to reading and analyzing Rumi's word.

This unit includes a pre-reading assignment that asks students to understand a quote from Rumi. This can be done in on an individual basis or as a whole class. From here, students will read about Rumi as a person and do a little research of their own. Then, dive headfirst into

One of These Days - Close Reading & Writing Prompt
One of These Days, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is the true image of a short story. Less than three pages and under 1000 words, yet packed with so much action.

For that reason, the marginal questions appear to be more surface level with the focus on imagery and characterization. However, the more I read and annotated myself, the more I real
