Instructional Ideas

  • Consider other options for students to publish their work, such as on a classroom blog or using a story-writing app
  • While the resource provides materials and a general outline for a great unit, the key to its success will be how each of the suggested activities are executed. To support this, consider including more detailed lessons and rubrics to support such activities as interviewing, small group discussion, or writing compare/contrast statements

Classroom Considerations

  • Most of the unit components involve online references; you will need to either project the materials or pupils will need access to appropriate technology

Pros

  • Includes fantastic website page with several interactive workshops
  • Links to websites and materials from reputable, established sources
  • Several student reading materials provided

Cons

  • None
