Us?
Students will explore a literary
fad in groups and analyze
setting, characterization,
conflict, language, and theme.
Students will discover what
qualities define that fad
through reading workshop
using book clubs. Students will
collaborate to apply the literary
elements from their models
during their own world building
workshop. Students will
develop an individual piece of
writing that fits into the world
their group has created. During
the writing workshop, students
will work on an original creative
writing piece that incorporates
the literary elements that they
have analyzed through mentor
texts and the creation of an
original world. The final product
will be revised and published as
a group anthology to be
presented to the class.
