An extension of our opinion writing unit, students are learning the genre of literary essay writing. We're applying the same structure as opinion writing: state your claim and then support it with reasons and examples. Students are learning to write leads that make the reader care and write conclusions that provide a final thought/insight on the idea. This is challenging work that the students are rising up to! Texts we're using for this unit are:
Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson One Green Apple by Eve Bunting Fly Away Home by Eve Bunting The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman
