Rational:
This unit was designed to meet the needs of University bound students while building life skills and a heightened level of social awareness and responsibility. Students will be able to better understand their own lives and gain a greater appreciation for those living in need. Students will use language to explore their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences to prepare for their roles in the world. Students will also explore how language can affect and influence others. Students will engage with and understand a variety of forms & styles of communication that are relevant to specific purposes and audiences. Students will demonstrate openness to different languages, ideas, & opinions, from a variety of cultural communities as expressed in mass media. Students will discover the power of oral and written language through the act of storytelling. Students will use what they have learned about short stories to compose their own. Exit Pass assignments are used throughout this unit in order to promote active listening, note taking, and a deeper engagement with the material. The students will continue to focus on the daily Personal Choice Reading (PCR) as well as Friday Spontaneous Writing that has been put into place by my sponsor teacher.
