What’s Included?
This is a 6-week unit that is broken down to day by day lessons. It is organized around six different author studies with one week for each author (Patricia Polacco, Chris Van Allsburg, Evey Bunting, Seymour Simon, Gail Gibbons, and Brian Floca). There is a combination of fiction and nonfiction lessons, and most lessons require students to use evidence from the text. Each lesson contains directions for a mini lesson, independent reading time, and closing. There is also an additional handout or guided practice activity for each of the lessons.
