About this Unit
During this two week unit, we will all read a book that has a movie adaptation. Most days we will have reading workshops where we will read and work on reading comprehension assignments. We will meet 1-2 times per week in our book groups to discuss our reading and share our comprehension assignments. On December 21st, we will screen the movie of the book we have read. Over the December break, students will then reflect on the movie and the book. Upon this reflection they will write a literary reflection essay. These essays will be done independently, but will be due on January 4th, the Friday after we return from break.
