Description
In this lesson, students read and analyze lines 31–43 from “My Last Duchess,” in which the Duke states that he never “stooped” to blame his wife for her actions. Students engage in an evidence-based discussion about the meaning of these lines and how Browning develops the Duke’s character in these lines. Students read and analyze new writing standards W.11-12.2.b and W.11-12.5, assessing their own understanding of the standard on the Common Core Learning Standards Tool.
