Reading
Congratulations 7th graders on finishing the ELA state test. You worked so hard!
Unit 5 will be a poetry unit. We will be comparing poems to music lyrics of different genres and doing deep analysis through close reads. The poems and lyrics will explore the topics of money, home, activism, and morality. Here are the guiding questions and an overview on close reads.
Here is a link to some of the visual representations of poems/songs that students completed as part of their Activism Project.
