About This Lesson
This is a 10 lesson unit plan covering descriptive and narrative writing techniques to apply to a 3 paragraph report about each student's favorite holiday. I address how to write an introduction and 2 body paragraphs about holiday preparation and celebration on the day of the holiday. Students apply specific writing techniques to personal poems, they recognize these techniques in short stories and song lyrics, and then they apply the writing to their own report. They also deliver an oral presentation of their report. Formative assessments and peer review occur throughout the unit. It culminates with a summative assessment in the form of a game of Jeopardy.
