The Unit

It should take about a full six weeks marking period for this unit to be completed. With the amount of essays and picture books included in the unit, and the writing section, the plan is to finish in six weeks. Two weeks will be devoted to one essay and one picture book and some peer reviewing and editing. Writing takes longer for my students because it is not done daily, but only twice a week. At the end of the unit, students will have had read to them at least three essays and three picture books. They will have written one personal narrative essay that includes all the steps of the writing process as defined by the TEKS.
