Close Reading of “The Lesson” By Toni Cade Bambara
For this 5-6 paragraph essay (approx. 1200 words), you will conduct a close reading of any of the short stories we have read so far (see texts below for reference). Just like arguing about what is right and what is wrong in a discussion, you will make an argument about the interpretation you have uncovered. In class on Monday, we will work on generating ideas and helping each other out with our brainstorming.
