Lesson Plan

Grade 9 ELA Module 3, Unit 1, Lesson 10

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Finish your unit on Temple Grandin's Animals in Translation with a two-part written assessment. As ninth graders refer to their notes, annotations, and discussion guides from the first part of the unit, they prepare for a writing prompt on the text's central idea. Additionally, they discuss the areas of investigation they employed throughout the reading.
