This unit focuses on reading and responding to realistic fiction. Comparing and contrasting real life to realistic fiction helps students appreciate the fact that stories can model real life. Fiction (story) elements of setting, characters, plot, and theme are defined and analyzed. Writing and group processes provide opportunities for student proofreading, revision, and evaluation. Vocabulary and grammar instruction occur within the context of the literature, within student writing and through daily grammar activities.
Time Frame: Approximately five weeks
