Pi U de a di g Where does this lead?

- Students have worked through various other
ELA units, and are familiar with the writing
process
- Students have come across various opinion
pieces in different forms in the community;
students will be familiar with various forms of
opinion
- This unit will help students develop skills for
writing in future units and introduce them to
various skills associated with persuasive writing.
- Students will also gain valuable skills
surrounding point of view; this will help them to
interact with other texts as well as peers outside
of the classroom.

Pre-assessment: This will be done through the first

lesson of the unit; we will begin by introducing the
Big Bad Wolf and base the discussion around what
the kids know during this class to get them
introduced.
