This 3-day unit focuses on developing a flood narrative from a non-human perspective, specifically through the eyes of a crow observing a family's experience during a storm. The unit is structured into immersion and planning, independent drafting, and revising and editing phases. Students will analyze model texts, create vivid descriptions, use figurative language, and develop their narrative's structure with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The unit emphasizes character development, emotional depth, and successful narrative crafting, with a focus on assessing the use of descriptive language and the overall coherence of the story. Key materials include story planning sheets, independent writing books, and excerpts from the model text 'The Flood.'
