Our Goals

This unit is designed to deepen students’ understanding of imaginative texts, and in particular narratives. This unit will develop students’ ability to respond to  read and understand the writing conventions of narratives, as well as write imaginatively in response to these texts. Students will gain an understanding of the power and complexity of storytelling and the decisions composers make in order to shape meaning.  Students will use their chosen novel as a vehicle for exploring character, setting, plot, narrative point of view and literary techniques used by composers.
