Experience life on the Great Plains in the late 19th century. Learn how one family comes to appreciate the uniqueness of others and the environment. Explore the elements of a story, the characteristics of historical fiction, the features of persuasive writing, and the steps of the writing process.
This unit is designed to be used in conjunction with the social studies unit The Land but can also be used as a standalone literature unit.
A set of Literature Units (LU) is a complete language arts curriculum teaching vocabulary, grammar, composition, spelling, story elements, and figurative language in the context of popular children's books. LUs each explore one facet of a concept that ties three units together. Each unit has a primary book that is studied for 2-3 weeks and may include additional titles. these concept-based studies allow your child to compare/contrast themes and characters across novels.
Lessons are structured and easy to use but extremely varied, often with several options for an assignment. In lower grades each Literature Package contains the LU and the corresponding novel and possibly other components. Student Activity Page Sets are not included in the packages. The LU includes these pages (single-sided and usable but not reproducible).
