Unit 1: Digging Through Layers
Students will build on their previous learning as they dig through layers of meaning in both texts and their own writing. Through this process, they will explore relationships of elements within and across texts, develop and utilize effective and appropriate communication skills, and grow as critics thinkers through reflection on their own reading and writing.
