Narrative Writing Unit:
In this unit, students use important aspects of language, narration, and storytelling and learn the academic and social importance of memoir-writing. Students will create memoirs that demonstrate the skillful use of narrative text structures, capturing the meaning of memory and the reflective nature of the writer. Students will revise and edit the memoirs through peer discussions and sharing, in order to draw out meaning and clarity. (Adapted from the 7th Grade MAISA ELA Units)
