Reading

Our first Unit of Study in Reading will tie in with Writing as we use close reading to explore elements of Fiction such as:

• • Setting

  • Character

  • Point of View

  • Perspective

  • Plot

  • Foreshadowing

  • Symbols

  • Main Idea

  • Theme

  • Author's Purpose

Students will be asked to respond to what they've read using strategies and frameworks such as:

• • Notice & Note Signposts

  • Character Analysis

  • Better Answers response strategy

  • Compare/Contrast

  • Making Inferences supported by Text Evidence

  • Making Connections

    • Text-to-Self

    • Text-to-World

    • Text-to-Text

  • Summarization
