This lesson plan is for an English class focusing on academic texts. The objectives are for students to identify academic texts, determine their structure, and differentiate them from other text types. The lesson proper involves motivating students with an activity to distinguish academic publications from fictional stories. Students will then do a popcorn reading of an academic text and analyze its parts. They will need to define academic text, list its structures, and explain its importance. As an application, students will analyze parts of another academic text in library groups and present their findings. There will be a formative test to assess learning before an assignment to find and annotate an additional academic text.
