Essential Question: How can one person make a meaningful difference in their local or global community?


In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that provide information about building communities. 

A genre focus on narrative nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify the author's purpose, text structure, and text and graphic features to better understand unfamiliar texts. 

As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn more about the way a dedicated individual or group of people can help make a community stronger and better.
