In this next section, I give you some help extending and developing a unit of study starting with author’s purpose and point of view but branching out to other aspects of craft and structure. Students will analyze the structure of texts and will move into drama and poetry, in turn writing in response to their reading. When mapping out the year, we know how much time is allotted to skills and standards. What aspects of this unit fit with your curriculum? How much time do you have? Those are driving questions as you plan. Week 1 reflects the lesson sequence on POV.

Reading closely for POV. Writing in response to reading.

Week 2 focuses on interpreting words and phrases as they are used in a text—especially figurative language. While this is a one-week lesson, it can and should be repeated throughout the year—students should always notice language and vocabulary. However, since this specific sequence is geared more toward the beginning-of-the-year instruction, I’ve only included a week for language, followed by Week 3, which focuses on analyzing and explaining how text structures relate to each other. Again, these are almost “launch” lessons for more in-depth studies throughout the year. As students read and write, they should always be aware of craft and structure.
