The Unit

It should take approximately 4-6 weeks to teach this curriculum unit in its entirety. The research required for the 4th-grade students to complete should encompass one of those weeks to ensure thoroughness. Students will be devoting two weeks to utilizing the mentor texts and moving diligently through the writing protocol using the strategies included in the writer's workshop. I will know more about the time frame once I am given from the school district a specific role of what my teaching schedule will consist of for the upcoming school year and how many instructional minutes I will have at my disposal daily as outlined by the Texas Education Agency's guidelines. At the end of the unit, students will have written one informational essay inclusive of the steps the writing process encompasses as defined by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards.
