English Language Arts Unit – November/December
During this unit, students are reading and writing in order to understand characters in a book, citing their observations with evidence from the text. Edward’s Eyes, by Patricia MacLachlan, is providing opportunities for students to strengthen their reading strategies and comprehension and is serving as a community building and learning experience. One major focus for this unit is- It is important to know the qualities of a character and how his or her traits affect the outcome of the story. Students analyze the author’s style of writing by learning to “read like a writer”. As a result, students are encouraged to try new techniques in their own writing.
