This unit will focus on the theme of growing up. It is something we all have to do, even if we do not want to do it!
We will begin this unit by reading a variety of short stories and poetry from your textbook centered around this theme. We will then culminate our project by reading the first novel in the Harry Potter Series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. We will work on our analysis skills while we read and uncover how our themes are uncovered.
Our culminating project will result in an essay. All worksheets, assignments, and notes can be found in the unit plan below.
