This is a writing assignment designed specifically for the special education setting. It involves having the students watch a high-interest video with teacher supported discussion. Students will use the information from the video along with three informational articles that they read. One article is provided for them. They need to find two articles on their own and read them. There are no citation requirements for this paper, however, that could easily be added.
This could easily be modified for the general education classroom adding the following Standards: RI5, RI6, RI7, W4, W7, and W8.

Students will view a short video in which questions have been embedded to activate their interest. They will then read the story of the Last True Hermit, Christopher Knight. Knight lived for 27 years in the woods of northern Maine before being caught. He survived by building a camp deep in the woods and stealing from cabins in the surrounding area.
The students will analyze the author's point of view and the way the various characters interact in the story. Their analysis is assessed using a short writing assignment.
This can be modified for the general education classroom. A supplemental text, "By the Waters of Babylon" by Stephen Vincent Benet, is included. Students can read this text and then answer the questions that are also included.
