Description
All 5 lessons are complete — name a topic, purpose, and audience for a text we plan to create, generate ideas about a topic that carries real weight, such as fairness or access, gather information from more than one kind of source, classify and sequence our ideas and collected information, and judge which strategies and tools actually helped us develop ideas and organize content.
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.
