This week we continue working on Unit 4.  The theme for unit 4 is people who changed the world.

In reading, students will research and learn about people who have changed the world by inventing or discovering something new, people who have changed the world by making the world and environment a better place for everyone, and people who have changed the world by standing up for what they believe in and fighting for what others think is impossible. While reading these books, students learn that:

• Noticing the connection between events helps a reader understand a person's actions

• Authors always have a purpose for writing a book and they use the details in the book to convey their purpose

• Reading multiple texts about the same topic helps readers learn lots of different details.  Authors include different details depending on their purpose.

In writing, students will apply their learnings to:

Informational Writing

• Participate in shared research and writing projects
