Unit 3: This final unit requires students to write a picture book based on an event from the life of Federick Douglass. Students will re-read the picture book from Unit 1 along with another to closely examine how the author used the tools of a narrative writer to craft a powerful story. Utilizing both Writer's Roundtable and writer's workshops students will practice narrative writing techniques, sensory language, precise word choice, strong verbs and dialogue. This book is the final performance task; students synthesize all they have learned about Frederick Douglass and the power of stories.
