Our Process of Learning

In HMH Into Reading Module 8, students will listen to, read, and engage with a variety of texts and media focused on inventors and their inventions. The emphasis on nonfiction will allow students to identify the author’s purpose and central idea, which will enhance their understanding of unfamiliar texts. In addition, students will explore narrative poetry and opinion pieces to gain knowledge across different genres.

As they expand their vocabulary and synthesize what they have learned about the topic, students will discover how ideas, determination, support, and hard work can foster an environment where anything is possible. During the writing component, with guidance from Digital Age Learning team members, students will research inventions that have made an impact in their community. They will choose one invention to investigate, explaining how it works, identifying its inventor, discussing its positive contributions, and sharing their opinions on its benefits to the community. Ultimately, students will create a digital presentation using the Book Creator app to showcase their findings.
