The big picture of ELA I U5 is that students will focus on how to analyze and craft argumentative texts through rhetorical devices and tone. The arc of the learning is that we start with an intriguing question for debate that sets up students to build an argument for themselves about the topic, explores that topic through development of theme and plot, demonstrates through an article how to build an argument, then practice explaining how author's build arguments before having to write their own in response to a new argumentative article in the EOU exam. The TEKS are assessed through TDQs, multiple choice questions, and varied writing tasks.

English 1. Big picture for unit 5

Students will develop analytical skills in analyzing genre, arguments and rhetorical devices,; and writing and presenting arguments. They will also learn to compare and contrast memoirs and argumentative texts, analyze poetic language and structure, and prepare for discussions while synthesizing information from various texts on survival.

The skills with their respective TEKS are progressively introduced from the Memoirs to the independent reading (claims and counterclaims) and through the class discussions students will be able to do their research and writing piece.

I noticed that this unit does not have level readers alternatives for EB students. That would help.
