The Nature of Princes
ELA Grade 10 Curriculum Map
Description
Students read excerpts from Niccolò Machiavelli’s political treatise, The Prince. Students use the skills, practices, and routines that they have developed throughout the year to identify central ideas and consider rhetoric and point of view. Students continue to read closely, annotate texts, and collect and analyze evidence in order to support evidence-based writing. As students work with The Prince, they consider new central ideas and reconsider central ideas present in texts they read earlier in the module, such as morality and the relationship between appearance and reality. The Unit concludes with a discussion that requires students to apply concepts from The Prince, a nonfiction text, to the fictional character of Macbeth, considering how Machiavelli’s ideas about effective leadership apply to the fictional King of Scotland.Downloads
