Writing an Analytic Essay
Rationale I’ve found that teaching students to write analytically is difficult because they are not in the habit of thinking in a precise manner. To write analytically, a writer must take apart the main traits of something, imagine them in their best state, and imagine them in their worst state. This requires higher-level thinking. I chose an analysis proving that something is best so that students would not require specific knowledge to write the analysis.ContentsTeacher booklet including lesso

Toggled with those readings, students practice critical reading, writing, and thinking, as well as ways of conducting research. This includes practice interviewing, dives
