Description

All 7 lessons are complete — link ideas across sentences and paragraphs using cohesive ties, analyze the features of different text forms and genres, find patterns in a text, like cause and effect, learning how images add meaning to a text, identify elements of style: voice, word choice, word patterns, and sentence structure, identify a narrator's point of view, and engage with a text with care.

Every lesson comes with a full teaching set: a lesson plan, a worksheet, homework, and a handout. The unit also includes 7 exit cards, 2 quizzes, a project, and an assignment.
