Description

All 7 lessons are complete — trace how ideas connect across longer, more complex sentences, compare how different text forms shape the same information, find a cause-and-effect pattern inside a text, name the visual elements in a text and describe what each one shows, identify a writer's voice and word choice in a passage, identify a narrator's point of view and back it up with evidence, and read, listen to, or watch a text by a First Nations, Metis, or Inuit creator 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.
