 * Literature Reflects Life: Making Sense of our World **


 * In this final six-week unit of seventh grade, students conclude their year-long study of the human condition by examining how a variety of genres can address the human condition: fantasy, comedy, tragedy, short stories, and poetry. **

Although students read from various genres, writing and class discussions focus on how literature can help us make sense of our world. In particular, students will examine "point of view," analyzing how authors develop different points of view. The overall goal of this unit is for students to apply all the reading, writing, speaking, and listening strategies and skills they have learned up to this point in the year. The unit ends with an informative/explanatory essay in response to the essential question: Is literature always a reflection of life?
