This lesson plan guides teachers on how to engage students in analyzing the author's craft across various genres, focusing specifically on the difference between objective and subjective writing styles. It includes activities where students examine contrasting excerpts from poetry and news articles, assess various literary devices such as imagery and metaphor, and evaluate the impact of these techniques on the reader's emotional response. The lesson aims to deepen students’ understanding of how language choices shape meaning and purpose in different texts. Through collaborative exercises, guided practices, and an exit ticket activity, students will reflect on the intentional choices writers make to create specific effects, supporting their learning through interaction and critical thinking.
