Resource Description: This lesson is intended to help students in a first-year composition class build a series of effective paragraphs and enrich storytelling in narrative academic essays by including descriptive details and figures of speech. It develops skills in close reading and increases students’ awareness of the components and content of an introspective narrative essay. The lesson's topic invites students to reflect on the ways in which they interact with ordinary objects and imbue them with meaning, and on techniques that writers use to defamiliarize the familiar. Readings include (see References, below, for full citations):
1. “Ode to an Orange” by Larry Woiwode
2. “My Laptop” by Annalee Newitz
