Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our class is beginning a literacy unit called Step up. In this unit, students read about people who have had the courage to "step up" and take action at a time of need. As students read the selections, they learn
* how to make connections to their own personal experiences, texts they have read or viewed and the world around them
* how to develop ideas as they write
* how to listen effectively
* how to recognize purpose and audience in media and text
*the characteristics of sequence and text pattern
*word study skills, including relative pronouns, verb tense, adverb clauses and present participles
Here are some ways you can support your child's learning throughout this unit:
*Share a story about someone who has taken a stand
*watch the news together and discuss issues
*talk about personal heros and why you admire them
