Unit 1 - Summary Writing
Unit Description
This unit consists of four lessons, each of which focuses on sumaary writing. Students will read and respond in writing to informational texts on a number of topics, as they learn and use pre- and during reading strategies. As they read each text, they will identify the key ideas and important information, which they will use to summarize the readings in simple, clear language. Students will also assess their own work, and reflect on their reading and writing skills, creating a plan for improvement. An ongoing focus will be vocabulary building, through the use of lesson glossaries.
