Module Two: How an Author Develops Ideas, Concepts, Characters, and Experiences, Part 1
In this module, students learn how authors craft different types of texts for different purposes. They explain those differences and use the features or elements of different texts to demonstrate and clarify understanding. They identify an informational topic and write pieces that include two or more facts and a sense of closure. They use narrative writing to describe an experience with thoughts and feelings and a variety of words.
