Description
In this lesson, students analyze the conclusion of “The Overcoat,” from The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol, pages 420–424, in which a “dead man” (p. 420) rumored to be Akaky Akakievich tears overcoats from people. In an independently written response at the beginning of the lesson, students consider the ways in which Gogol’s “fantastic ending” (p. 420) contributes to the interaction of central ideas. This response informs students’ participation in the whole-class discussion that follows, during which they make connections to their previous analysis of two central ideas.
