Units of Study for Reading: A Deep Study of Character with Trade Pack
Published 2017
Title overview
This unit serves as a primer in what it means to participate in an intense reading workshop. It introduces students to a variety of instructional methods such as read-aloud, partner work, and minilessons, and coaches both teachers and students in how to harness those methods to increase reading expertise and independence.
Students will learn to consider more complex character traits, to investigate how setting shapes characters, and to analyse how characters are vehicles for themes. The unit also helps readers take more charge of their reading lives and engages students with close reading, gathering text evidence, and weighing and evaluating multiple theories about complex characters.
This is an ideal unit for the beginning of the school year, offering extra support for organising a classroom library, matching readers to books, organizing partnerships, and planning for reading workshops.
Note: resources for teaching A Deep Study of Character in more than one grade level, including alternate read-alouds and minilessons with these texts, are available on the online resources for this unit.
