Essential Question: What makes a character interesting?
In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about bold, interesting characters.
A genre focus on realistic fiction provides students with opportunities to identify point of view, literary elements, and theme in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter fantasy to build knowledge across genres.
As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn that each protagonist is a unique individual, just as they are.
