Hybrid+Text+Unit+Guide


 * The activities for this unit are centered around the Magic Treehouse #13 Vacation Under The Volcano**

This includes a short summary of a section of the book, an analysis of the hybrid text elements, your identification of main ideas and potential big ideas, and a purposeful book launch with a short script of what you would ask/say to activate and build prior knowledge and set a purpose for reading. Please Copy/Paste the text of your file into a "New" File in the [|MTH Book Launch] Google Drive Folder so I can add comments to your work. Do not just drag your file into the folder.
 * PART 1: Text Analysis and Book Launch (BEFORE READING ACTIVITIES)**

Using the text analysis you did in Part 1, write comprehension questions you want students to answer (either in a discussion group, on a Flipgrid, or in a journal) for your assigned section of the book. Your questions should require students to move beyond literal recall of small details and encourage them to see the connections (explicit and implicit) between details in ways that moves them closer to comprehending important events linked to the problem/solution or observations about the characters. They should also tap into some of the during reading comprehension strategies that good readers use to make sense of text.
 * PART 2: Generating high level comprehension questions (DURING READING ACTIVITIES)**

For this part of your unit, you will create four additional activities for students to complete as you cycle through rounds of guided reading groups. These will include: 1) vocabulary activity; 2) fluency activity (e.g., podcast); 3) character traits activity; and 4) anticipation guide.
 * PART 3: Creating four related activities (DURING/AFTER READING ACTIVITIES)**

For this final part of the unit guide, you will work with a partner to think about the whole story. Then, you will develop a central question, curate a set of five related resources, create a unit extension map and describe two activities (one for each person).
 * PART 4: Creating extension activities and a curriculum map (AFTER READING ACTIVITIES)**


 * STORE THE PIECES OF YOUR UNIT:** It's helpful if you create a folder on your computer and put all of your related resources into that folder.

Now, you will combine all four parts of your MTH unit into a Blendspace. You can use Dr. Deeney's **[|screencast]** tutorial to show you how to make a Blendspace lesson. Then, you copy/paste the link to your Blendspace into this [|Google Docs chart] so others (including Dr. Coiro) can access your unit activities.
