**Title:** Choosing Literary Texts for Composition

**Grade Level:** Grade 7

**Duration:** Four 45-minute class periods

**I. Objectives:**
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Define the terms "meaning" and "purpose" in the context of selecting literary texts for
composition.
- Analyze their own meaning and purpose for choosing a specific literary text for composition.
- Develop an awareness of how their personal meaning and purpose influence their writing
choices.

**II. Materials:**

- Projector for displaying text on the board (if available)
- Copies of various literary texts (short stories, poems, or excerpts from novels)
- Handouts with prompts for self-reflection
- Writing materials for students (notebooks, pens, or laptops)

**III. Procedure:**

**Day 1: Introduction to Meaning and Purpose**

**A. Warm-Up (10 minutes):**

1. Begin the class by discussing the importance of choosing the right book to read or the right
movie to watch. Ask students how they decide what to read or watch.
2. Introduce the idea that the choices we make in literature often reflect our personal meaning
and purpose.

**B. Defining Meaning and Purpose (20 minutes):**

1. Define "meaning" and "purpose" in the context of selecting literary texts for composition.
2. Explain that "meaning" refers to what the student hopes to gain from reading a particular text,
and "purpose" refers to why they want to read it in the first place.

**C. Literary Text Selection (15 minutes):**

1. Provide a list of literary texts (short stories, poems, or novel excerpts) to the students.
2. Ask each student to select a text from the list that they would like to read and analyze for
composition.
**Day 2: Identifying Personal Meaning and Purpose**

**D. Self-Reflection (30 minutes):**

1. Distribute handouts with prompts for self-reflection to each student.
2. Instruct students to take some time to reflect on why they chose their selected literary text.
What meaning do they hope to derive from it, and what purpose does it serve for them?

**E. Sharing Reflections (20 minutes):**

1. Invite students to share their reflections with the class. They can discuss their chosen text,
the meaning they hope to find, and the purpose it serves.
2. Encourage open dialogue and active listening among classmates.

**Day 3: Analyzing the Chosen Text**

**F. Reading and Annotation (40 minutes):**

1. Have students read their chosen literary texts attentively.
2. Encourage them to annotate the text as they read, noting passages, themes, or characters
that resonate with their chosen meaning and purpose.

**G. Group Discussions (25 minutes):**

1. Divide the class into small groups based on the literary texts they chose.
2. In their groups, students should discuss the commonalities and differences in their chosen
texts, focusing on how they relate to their personal meaning and purpose.

**Day 4: Writing and Reflection**

**H. Writing Assignment (35 minutes):**

1. Instruct students to compose a short essay or reflection that explores the relationship
between their chosen literary text, their meaning, and their purpose.
2. They should discuss how the text aligns with their expectations and what insights or
perspectives they have gained.

**I. Sharing and Discussion (20 minutes):**

1. Have students share their essays or reflections with the class.
2. Encourage classmates to ask questions, provide feedback, and discuss how different
meanings and purposes can lead to unique interpretations of the same text.

**IV. Assessment:**
- Assess students based on their participation in class discussions, their ability to articulate their
meaning and purpose, and the quality of their written reflections.

**V. Homework:**
- Assign students to select another literary text independently and write a brief reflection on their
meaning and purpose for choosing it. This can serve as ongoing practice.
**VI. Extension Activity:**
- For advanced students, introduce more complex literary theories such as reader-response
theory or post-structuralism and discuss how these theories can inform meaning and purpose in
text selection.

**VII. Additional Notes:**

- Foster a classroom environment where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and
reflections without judgment. Encourage diverse perspectives and interpretations.
