Rationale

"I read it but I don't get it". I want to eliminate that from my students' vocabulary. I want this unit to equip my students with strategies, skills and knowledge that they can apply across all content areas. I want my students to read challenging texts and be able to discuss, question, think, and infer what is happening in them. I also want them to understand why the development of interpretive skill is important for them, and this unit is meant to help them reach that understanding.
