Students will be analyzing informational text while also building on skills from Unit 4 that require them to show a clear understanding of plot, inference making and the skills to draw comparisons between text. Students will build on their understanding of authors language and how that impacts the readers experience/connection to the text.

The Big Picture of Unit 5 is analyzing genre and plot as well as making inferences through the lens of memoirs and informational texts. The analysis and inferencing skills are a continuation and expansion of skills students have practiced in earlier units.

Students will read argumentative text, poetry, short story and memoir. Opportunities to address gaps in IA1 data exist with these texts as students get another at bat with analysis of arguments, poetic structures and devices and making inferences. STudents will write an argumentative essay to conclude the unit.

Big picture: students will analyze the sources of absolute power through the play "The tragedy of Macbeth" by Shakespeare.

Arc of learning: students will analyze the elements of a drama and do character analysis. At the end of the play students will write an analysis of Macbeth's universal characteristics.

The tasks build on each other by having students first understand the elements of a play then dig into the intricacies of each character and how they're connected.

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.

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.
