About This Lesson
PowerPoint Lesson Plans/Presentations to support the unit; students will continue to practice and refine routines such as close reading, annotation, identification of evidence, and participation in collaborative discussions. Students will study the authors’ use of language to create meaning and build characters. They will also build vocabulary, write routinely, and, at the end of the unit, develop an essay that synthesizes ideas in the two texts: R.M. ), Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet and Mitchell’s Black Swan Green
This resource has very good materials that can be used to help students read critically and cite evidence to support a claim as required by the CCSS.
