Description

All 8 lessons are complete — spot human traits given to things, make inferences, find the main idea and details, find cultural elements in a text, find a perspective in a text, find a topic like fairness or belonging in a text, find how a shared text connects to its own time and place, and name the thinking skills we used this unit.

Every lesson comes with a full teaching set: a lesson plan, a worksheet, homework, and a handout. The unit also includes 8 exit cards, 2 quizzes, a project, and an assignment.
