Objective:  I can analyze how authors’ choices concerning how they structure a children’s book to contribute to their overall meaning as well as aesthetic impact (RL11-12.5).

• Entry Task:  Sit with a partner you work well with.  Only groups of 3 IF everyone already has a partner.  Thank you!
  
• In your anthology, write a list of your favorite children’s books and what you liked about them.  
• You will have three options for your Historical Fiction writing.  Your first option will be to write a children’s book.  
• Teacher Read Aloud:  Selected book from Ordinary People Change the World Gift Set
  • With your partner, read the biographical children’s book assigned to you.  
  • Work together to use the rubric to score the children’s book
    • Share out what you notice to the class
• Exit Task: In your notebook, answer whether or not you would like to create a children’s book following this rubric; if so, who would you write it about?  If not, why?  Add to our class brainstorm.
