Analyzing Elaboration Strategies in Nonfiction Writing

This lesson focuses on understanding and analyzing various elaboration strategies used in nonfiction writing, particularly in Viktor Frankl's work. Students will engage in collaborative reading and discussion, identifying and labeling strategies such as literal description, figurative language, narrative, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and others' experiences. The goal is to argue which strategy most effectively conveys Frankl's beliefs about attitude and choices. Participants will learn to capture notes and share insights from their readings to deepen comprehension and critical thinking.
