Unit 2: Facing Fear - The Ravine (9/6-9/18)
In the second part of the Facing Fear Unit, students will learn about the five essentials elements of a short story as we comprehend "The Ravine," the story of Vinny, a young boy challenged to overcome the external conflict of his fear of heights and the internal conflict of not wanting to appear cowardly in front of his friends. Students will complete a comprehension test on the story (9/18), utilize text evidence from the story to explain how fear can be helpful as it makes us cautious in their informative essays, and produce plot maps to analyze the narrative structure. Students will learn critical vocabulary, practice how to use context clues to decode unknown words, and understand how writers use dialectical English to give the reader a deeper understanding of how the character speaks.
