Mid-Unit 2 Assessment: Comparing Fictional and Historical Texts

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Class members pair up to discuss how the author of A Long Walk to Water altered history. They then work independently on Mid-Unit 2 Assessment: Comparing Water for Sudan and A Long Walk to Water. Readers close the lesson plan thinking about a scenario in which they explain to a younger pupil why it is important to compare text.
