Introduce J.C. Hero's Journey - explain the process and additional allusions (LOTR, HP, WOO). Students will read The Lightning Thief and complete the 2nd page of the graphic organizer as we read. This will help them synthesize the journey and see connections to other texts/media. This will also help to create the structure for the stories they will complete at the end of the unit (hero's journey or nature's myth).

Students will explore and research poetry - its elements, the people, and the theme associated. Using Google Arts & Culture as a resource, students will be able to explore poetry through sight and sound, before using programs to create/remix.

Poetry is music and vice-versa. Students will be challenged to make their own poems (a variety of options) that will result in a Poetry Slam (PBL). We will start the unit by creating a shared playlist of a song that is meaningful to us. This playlist will be shared across classes and we will also use it as inspiration through our own writing process.

Students in heterogenous groups will be assigned (1) element of short story (Characters, Setting, Plot, Theme, or Conflict). They will each create their imagined element as a small group. This will appear in a shared document. Then, students will have to recreate an entire story as a team using the elements creatively. While we all have the same elements, stories will/should vary. Best story wins the prize!
