Description

In this concluding unit, students will research, read and discuss urban legends from a variety of cultures and countries. Students will participate in a variety of popular reading activities such as shared reading, guided reading, and literature circles. They will then play a group game to prepare them to write their own urban legend by discussing with group members the different elements of the genre. Final task: students will assume different publishing roles to compile the urban legends written by the class into a magazine or e-zine. The final task is a celebration of what they have accomplished as they discuss and respond to the urban legend magazine in a literature circle.

The Teacher Resource Book is organized into 8 to 10 "lessons". Each lesson is broken down into three phases: Pre-Activity, Activity, Post-Activity. The TRB contains methodology, language, content and outcomes summary charts, and comprehensive lesson plans written by practicing teachers. Also includes assessment and evaluation with reproducible rubrics, checklists and worksheets, as well as additional activigties (in reproducible master format). In every thematic unit, teaching notes are provided for combined grades, differentiated instruction for varying ability levels and for varying the final task.
