The thematic unit focuses on teaching writing skills over 15-16 days. Students will explore essay structure by analyzing sample essays. They will define essay parts, develop topics, and write drafts. Lessons include identifying thesis statements, outlining paragraphs, and using vocabulary words. Formative assessments include quizzes, homework, and student presentations on essay components. The final assessment is an outline and draft of an original student essay to be completed at home. The unit aims to develop skills like critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and social transformation through the writing process.
