Description

All 5 lessons are complete — name the topic, purpose, and audience for a text, think up ideas about a topic in more than one way, find information about a topic from more than one real source, sort our ideas and information into clear groups, and name the strategies that helped us plan our writing.

Every lesson comes with a full teaching set: a lesson plan, a worksheet, homework, and a handout. The unit also includes 5 exit cards, 2 quizzes, a project, and an assignment.
