HOW IT WORKS
As a class or you can assign students individually, you will have the students read one of the 4 close reading articles. Choose their level. Teacher will follow the close reading schedule included in the unit. The student will do activities with the article including vocabulary and comprehension questions. Then students will start their informational writing piece on the topic, using their close reading article and our Inference Graphic Organizer. In the end they will have an informational writing piece completed. This can be repeated 4 times with each article included.
