Section 3: Overview

Deepening our Understanding

We will practice integrating and synthesizing information across sources, as we continue to conduct research with our research teams. We will begin to expand and refine our initial responses to our Central Question by considering additional perspectives on being American.

  • Lesson 1:

    We will use foundational texts along with a text from each pathway to make comparisons and draw conclusions.

  • Lesson 2:

    We will work in our research teams and prepare for our pathway presentations. We will reflect on and evaluate the progress of our research.

  • Lesson 3:

    We will use the Foundation Unit Research and Presentation Guide to determine our next steps to prepare for our pathway presentation. We will reflect on and evaluate the progress of our research.

  • Lesson 4:

    Our research team will prepare for our pathway presentation. We will reflect on and evaluate the progress of our research.

  • Lesson 5:

    Our research team will prepare for our pathway presentation. We will reflect on and evaluate the progress of our research.

  • Lesson 6:

    We will refine and revise our Section 1 Diagnostic to demonstrate how our understanding of what it means to be an American has expanded or changed after reading additional texts.

  • Lesson 7:

    We will review feedback on the Section Diagnostic. We will use the feedback to make revisions to our work.

  • Lesson 8:

    We will share the analyses we have made about our independent reading texts and make connections to the unit. We will plan a final product to share our experiences from reading independently and the knowledge we have gained.
