Instructional Ideas

  • Ask groups to test Mosley's contentions by applying his assertions to their favorite fictional heroes

Classroom Considerations

  • The third in a 13-lesson unit that examines how authors structure informational texts and develop their ideas

Pros

  • The seven-page packet includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed, the lesson, discussion questions with model responses, a Quick Write, and a homework assignment

Cons

  • All the lessons in the unit follow the same format

Common Core

RI.9-10.2 RI.9-10.5 W.9-10.2.b SL.9-10.1.a L.9-10.1.a L.9-10.2.a
