Preparing to Write: Determining Characteristics of the Format


Description

Students begin Unit 3 with a read-aloud from the choose-your-own-adventure mentor text, Can You Survive the Wilderness? This text is used throughout the unit as a model of the choose-your-own adventure format, and in this lesson it is used as an example for students to examine when understanding and applying the components of a text written in this format. Students revisit their guiding questions and performance task from previous modules to help frame their understanding of where they are in the process of creating the final performance task.
