An assignment involves what effective
teachers do—engaging students in complex
thinking and skills using appropriate and
focused instruction.

Component 2: LDC Teaching Task Defined
A “completed” template task in which teachers include the content/issue to be addressed, specify
the text they will use to teach, and identify the product to be produced by students. A full teaching
task also includes background information that introduces students to the assignment and an
optional “extension” in which the students exhibit or present their product publicly.

LDC Teaching Task vs. Traditional Writing Prompt
How does Chopin use character development to shape themes for
larger political and social commentary? After reading "The
Awakening", "The Story of an Hour", "Desiree's Child" and "The Storm", write article in which you analyze character development specifically in relation to other
characters in the text and generally in relation to social and
political context , providing examples to clarify your analysis.
Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is about a woman who receives some shocking news. Read the story. Then write an essay discussing Mrs. Mallard’s conflict in the story and how she deals with the conflict. Be sure to include examples and details from the story to support your ideas.

LDC Teaching Task vs. Traditional Writing Prompt
After researching essays and articles on existentialism, write essay in which you define existentialism and
explain its impact on Franz Kafka's work "The
Metamorphosis". Support your discussion with evidence from
your research.
From the beginning of “The Metamorphosis”, Gregor is portrayed as a somewhat pathetic character. He works hard for his family in a job that he hates, and receives little, if any, recognition for his efforts. He wants the best for his family members, and he wants desperately to be loved by them. When Gregor turns into a cockroach, he is unable to live with the fact that his family will never love him and will always ostracize him. Unfortunately, Gregor does not experience a profound transformation of his character in the same way that he experiences a transformation of his physical body. Although he recognizes that his family will never embrace him, he has difficulty living with this fact. Your discussion should include some exploration of "The Metamorphosis" as an allegory about what it means to be human and the relationship of the individual to the world.
