Unit 1: EAL
In Unit 1, students read and view texts to build personal connections while exploring characters, settings, plot, ideas, values, and narrative voice. They engage with mentor texts to study effective writing and experiment with structure, language features, and ideas in their own work. Students develop their understanding of how texts are shaped by context, purpose, and audience, and how vocabulary and language choices combine to create compelling writing.
