TENTH GRADE ELA UNIT 3

TENTH GRADE ELA UNIT 3:

CHANGE CAN BE UNEXPECTED

Unit Overview:

The goal of this unit of study is to help students analyze the use of irony, mystery,

and surprise in both fiction and non-fiction texts. Students will also be looking at

different perspectives of the same event, comparing and analyzing those

viewpoints. This is a Common Core unit of study that engages students in

collaborative activities, close reading, textual analysis and argumentative writing

substantiated with textual evidence. The summative assessment is a test which

requires students to apply the skills they have learned in this unit.

Lesson Collaborators: Jennie Fields, Joyce Feuerborn, Amber Lund, and

Michelle Holguin, and Jason Crabbe
