Welcome back! I
hope you had a very relaxing/fun filled two weeks with your friends
and family!
We will be beginning our next unit about the power
of arguments. Our overarching concept for this unit is personal accountability,
so while we learn about reading and writing in an argumentative style, we
will look at arguments through the lens of personal accountability.
In this unit, students
will explore, analyze, and discuss various texts that deepen students’
understanding of personal accountability. We will begin a new read aloud, where
students will analyze the text to understand the personal accountability of
characters and how their actions affect others in their lives and around them.
We will examine our essential questions using different forms of text and media
to analyze and broaden our understanding of this concept.
