Lesson 1 - Writing about teen stress

Welcome: Lesson 1 - Writing about teen stress
Description: This literary lesson plan is designed to give students a positive outlet to release some of their stress through the process of writing. I am asking students to compare the stresses they face on a day-to-day basis with those of the characters they are reading about in class. What are some similarities? What is different? What coping mechanisms are used by both the real teen and the literary one?
