Module 4 Letter

In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about the people who settled the West.

A genre focus on informational texts provides students with opportunities to identify central ideas, text structure, and author's craft techniques in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter personal historical fiction to build knowledge across genres.

As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn about the settlers' varied experiences.
