Description

All 8 lessons are complete — spot words that make a scene come alive, make a small guess from one clue nearby, find the main idea and the facts that support it, notice cultural elements in a text, like an object, a custom, or a value, name whose view a text shows, spot a big topic in a text, like fairness, notice how a text shows real history and experience, 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.
