1 Unit Overview: Writing Workshop Unit 4 Title: Literary Analysis and Informational Writing Grade Level: 5 Timeframe: 5 weeks In this unit, students will focus on two specific kinds of writing: Literary Analysis (Opinion) and Informational Article (Informative/Explanatory) writing. These writing forms will be revisited throughout middle school, high school, and college, so it is essential to begin the foundations for success early. Students will have the opportunity to flex their opinion writing skills by responding to essential questions from a personal standpoint to developing their opinion with evidence as they analyze texts and characters. As the writing shifts to the Informative Article, students will choose a topic of interest and with which they are already familiar, to create an informational article. Teachers may want to use model text from a variety of sources such as journals and magazines that explore various science, social, and cultural topics or topics of personal interest. Classes may choose a broad theme and produce their own magazine with the compilation of articles. Serving as editors would differentiate the writing tasks for high performing students, and struggling students could co-produce elements of an article. Lessons have been aligned to mentor text Passage to Freedon with the text attached. Honoring teacher choice, the mentor text can be substituted with the following texts from Journeys: Old Yeller. Simply modify lessons to the chosen mentor text. Enduring Understanding Students will understand: Academic writing forms and that each form follows different requirements. A process for approaching text structures and character development Essential Questions How can I use academic writing to demonstrate my knowledge and assist others in learning my point of view? When is it appropriate to share my opinion in academic writing?

W.5.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly. a. Introduce a topic clearly, provide a general observation and focus, and group related information logically; include formatting (e.g., headings), illustrations, and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension. b. Develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic. c. Link ideas within and across categories of information using words, phrases, and clauses (e.g., in contrast, especially). d. Use precise language and domain-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain the topic. e. Provide a concluding statement or section related to the information or explanation presented. L.5.3 Use knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening. a. Expand, combine, and reduce sentences for meaning, reader/listener interest, and style.
