Unit 1: "Buying In" to Essential Questions
Introduction
If I were to ask your students what they are learning about in your class, what would they say? Is the title of the novel you are currently reading come to mind? Essential Questions will take the focus off of the novel and give you as a teacher permission to stray away from the core text and intentionally build a unit that does so much more than simply teach the comprehension of a single novel. Buckle up for Part 1 of our adventure learning about the power of inquiry!
