Unit 4 explores the effects that exclusivity has on an individual, a society, and humanity as a whole. Students will unpack the concept of otherness through the analysis of a fictional text that will act as an entry point into larger discussions on this complex topic. Students will revisits literary analysis, this time with an on-demand prompt with a cold-read that mirrors the Text Analysis Essay on the NYS Regents exam. Students will analyze the building blocks of a story, or the plot, and take a closer look at the literary devices that writers develop to impact a storyline and create a coherent narrative.
