After reading both Red Riding Hood stories and co-constructing a Venn diagram in the previous lesson, we do a deeper dive into understanding text and text structure by co-constructing a compare/contrast piece on the two tales. The piece we draft together serves as a mentor text they can refer to when they go to write their own. Honestly, it’s one of the very few times I use the structure of a five-paragraph essay, because when it’s used routinely, it gives students the unfortunate impression that this is the best and only way to present their thinking. But at this juncture, I find it a useful way to give students who are still finding their way with writing a framework to lean on for a short time.
