• This unit focuses on reading and
  responding to a variety of texts, including
  classical, historical, and contemporary fiction
  and nonfiction. This unit also emphasizes
  vocabulary development, grammar, and composition
  skills. Read-alouds and shared, guided, and
  independent reading experiences facilitate the
  teaching of story elements (setting, plot,
  character, theme, and conflict), literary
  devices, and the characteristics of reading
  genre.
• Student Understandings

  they describe and discuss literary elements,
  identify literary devices, and compare and
  contrast tests. They respond to various reading
  genres through oral discussion and writing
  projects.
• Guiding Questions

  compare/contrast a variety of texts, including
  fiction and nonfiction?

  prior knowledge and life experiences?
• Can students identify the elements of a
