Tortured Poets Department (Writing Workshop)

Swifties are in agreement: her new album is oozing lyrical genius.

The title track, in particular, is a perfect piece for students to try their hand at writing a literary analysis paper.

To model how to do this for students, I got to the proverbial easel and canvas and "painted" a number of introductory paragraphs, bodies, and conclusions just to nicely demystify the process.

In the video writing workshop, students can learn how two simple heuristics can be employed every single instance in which they are tasked to perform literary analysis.

All of the slides featured in the writing workshop are available for download (free for the taking).

I've also made a document that houses the song lyrics.

Happy teaching and happy writing!
