Unit 1: Developing & Reflecting Through Narratives
Where I'm From Poems
In this unit, readers will determine themes within literary texts (including poems and short stories) and analyze their development and relationship to characters, settings, plot, word choice, and tone. Writers will reflect on what experiences (both positive and negative) have shaped who they are, and craft narrative "Where I'm From" poems to develop those experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences.
