Critical Lens Essay 9H
A critical lens essay is a formulaic essay that uses a quotation to explore and analyze works of literature. The essay writer provides an interpretation of the quotation and then uses literary elements from two works of literature to support the interpretation. We will use story and essay organizers, rubrics, and samples to explore this assignment. This essay will not only help prepare you for the English final at the end of the year, but also prepare you for the English Regents as it is one of the tasks found on the state exam. It is a GOOD IDEA to attend regular extra help sessions for this particular assignment.
