Module Three: Integration of Knowledge and Ideas: Connecting Ideas within One Text, Part 1
In this module, students closely examine and use specific aspects of the text to describe the key ideas or characters. Specifically, they begin to explore how the author uses elements of one text. They write informational pieces that include a topic, at least two supporting facts, and an organizational structure with a sense of closure. They write narrative pieces that describe two or more sequenced events and include a variety of words and phrases, and temporal words for transition. They show increased proficiency with grade level conventions of language as they write.
