 * The purpose of this unit is for students to 1: Gain a greater appreciation for writing by learning about how to write with passion and conviction. 2: Learn about the basic practices and vocabulary of English and Writing such as Plot, Metaphors, Character Development, Dialogue, Imagery, and Story Webs and Trees. 3: To become better writers by learning not only how to write about things that they know, but to also be able to connect to stories that they read in a personal and meaningful way. 4: To learn about different technologies that they will be able to use such as Blogs, Wikis, IMovies, Podcasts, and Online Poster Creators. Students will achieve these goals by writing multiple stories based on their own experiences, and reading other stories by their fellow classmates. They will also take some of the stories they write and convert them into podcasts, and digital presentations. This entire unit will culminate in the students creating one final digital presentation based on a childhood event.
