HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THESE UNITS:
My units use a before/during/after approach, so before reading, students experience a schema building activity, vocabulary introduction, and focus skill modeling. During reading, students use a graphic organizer or foldable to record book information and interpretation, and post reading includes questioning and written response.
