Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Determine theme and analyze episodic story structure, simile, and irony in a first-person narrative
Trace a multi-part rhetorical argument, including anaphora, concession, and extended metaphor, in a persuasive essay
Evaluate where two argumentative essays on the same topic agree and diverge in claim and rhetorical strategy
Apply conventions of standard English: sentence concision, modifier placement, semicolon punctuation, and subjunctive mood

Teaching tips

Use the 'annotate every rhetorical move' anchor discussion for the disagreement essay to teach argument-structure mapping as a transferable skill.
Pair the two nostalgia essays for a cross-text agreement/disagreement chart before assigning the compare-and-contrast questions.
Have students write a 200-word scene mirroring the hotel story's structure — a small observation that carried meaning they couldn't explain at the time — as a companion writing task.
Use the Standards Alignment table to target remediation (e.g., Synthesis Sentence Frames for comparison-across-texts items) to the benchmarks a class missed most.

Skills covered

Episodic structure and irony analysis — students explain how a series of late-night hotel encounters builds theme and reveals a gap between what the narrator says and what she has actually learned.
Rhetorical move mapping — students identify anaphora, concession, and extended metaphor in a structured argumentative essay about disagreement.
Cross-argument evaluation — students locate where two opposing essays on nostalgia agree, where they diverge, and which rhetorical strategies earn their trust.
Grammar and mechanics — students revise for concision, fix misplaced modifiers, punctuate conjunctive adverbs, and apply the subjunctive mood.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How does 'The Lost Art of Disagreeing Well' use its opening two sentences to set up the essay's argument?

The two sentences mirror each other grammatically, and the pivot from 'more ways than ever to disagree' to 'lost the ability to do it well' dramatizes the paradox the rest of the essay unpacks — naming the central tension before any evidence is introduced.

On what point do the two nostalgia essays actually agree, even though they reach different conclusions?

Both authors accept that nostalgia can be harmful when it is used to misrepresent or flatten the past into fantasy — Text A concedes this danger before defending nostalgia's value, while Text B centers that same danger as its main warning.
