About This Lesson
What’s Next? Students explore how personal choices shape their futures by examining a wide range of informational texts. Through articles, speeches, essays, and legal opinions, they analyze how individuals define goals, confront obstacles, and influence society. Reading across genres—including journalism, memoir, argument, and even a classic novella—students study how writers convey perspective and present information effectively. By the end of the unit, seniors apply these models to craft their own informative writing, using evidence, clarity, and purpose to articulate what comes next in their lives.
