I will use this unit to strengthen students skills and strategies, in the areas of thinking, literary elements, writing, vocabulary, comprehension, and listen/speaking. This unit meets the Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks standard for Language Arts 6-8: Reading. It will also integrate graphing skills which are used in the other areas of teaching. Students will complete the following activities: 1. Complete a chart using information gathered.2. Develop listening, vocabulary, and writing skills from the unit "The Giver" 3. Write a paragraph using information off a spreadsheet they composed 4. View a Web site of Lois Lowry and use a word processor to write their own ending to the "The Giver" 5. Create an ABC book which reflects the contents of the novel. 6. Create a character analysis that lists the differences of each character.

I chose this unit because it allows me to integrate reading with a Social Studies unit on the Middle Ages. Students will be able to strengthen their comprehension skills and vocabulary by inferring word meaning from context clues. Students will use these new skills as they respond to the literature through writing. This unit meets the Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks standard for Language Arts 6-8: Reading: The student will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation and appreciation of the written test. As they use these sites to gather information, students will complete the following activities: 1) answer questions about an online interview with Karen Cushman; 2) compare/contrast their lives with the life of an adolescent of the Middle Ages; 3) create a food poster about foods of the Middle Ages; 4) create a character web of a character in the book; 5) create a mobile of England including a map, population, flag, official language, official currency, and three geographical regions.
