Research Essay
A research paper is a piece of academic writing that encompasses primary and secondary sources
to make a valid argument (Application). In the grade eleven class, they were reading the story
“Shawshank Redemption,” and had to write an essay surrounding a topic that was evident in the
book (Thinking & Knowledge). There was a list provided of topics that the students could
research, using their books and web as sources. The essays were given a generous amount of
time to ensure that all student could succeed in the assignment. The students were able to use
application, knowledge, and communication to have successful paper; the variety of strategies
once again allowed for differential learners to prosper. After the research papers were handed in,
I ensured that there was positive feedback, but as well as areas for improvement. Giving
feedback to the students showed that I care about their work and effort as well as building a
collaborative relationship with the student because the student receiving the feedback has a
direction to go in order to improve. (Communication)

A comic strip theme project is similar to an essay where they are arguing a theme in the book or
play but presenting it in a comic. The comic strip I used in the grade ten class because instead of
writing an essay, which they already did, I got them to create a comic. The comic strip is similar
to an essay because the students had to provide examples of theme throughout the book and the
importance. For example, I gave the students five different themes that they could use, one being
‘masculinity and power.’ So, the students’ task was to find four examples of ‘masculinity and
power,’ and describe the importance of the scene and how it works in the play. Having the
students creating their own comics on the computer was very engaging for the students because
it was different way of learning and presenting information. After the comic strips were
complete, in a timely fashion, I handed back the comics while giving proper feedback about what
was portrayed and described. I found the students actually read the feedback because I often
made a comment about the comic itself and many students were really proud of their finished
product, so they valued what I said.
