ELA Unit 1

Multiple Perspectives examines the different perspectives people have based on their backgrounds and experiences. This unit challenges students to consider and respect differing perspectives, which will lead them to become open-minded and accepting of others. Students will read realistic fiction and informational text about the unit theme, participate in collaborative discussions, and integrate their ideas in all three types of writing.
