Using Writing to Entertain
Description
In this unit, students apply the research they have completed (in Unit 2) about their expert animal and its defense mechanisms in order to write a narrative about their animal. Students will write a choose-your-own-adventure narrative about their animal for their performance task for this module. Throughout the unit students work on the their narratives by writing the introduction and first choice ending. Then as an on demand end of unit assessment, they write the second choice ending for their narratives. Finally, they combine these choices to complete their performance task and publish their choose-your-own-adventure narratives.
