Amal UnBound
Amal Unbound Choice Board Project - Due October 3rd
Students have the opportunity to choose which project they would like to complete for our Amal Unbound novel study. Students are given several different projects to choose from. They are expected to choose 1 of the projects (except the quote quilt) to complete. It is our hope that the students choose a project that allows them to demonstrate their unique abilities.

Unit 1 Writing Project
Our first unit will focus on literary response. We will write short essays that reflect on and interpret our summer read, Amal Unbound. This will help us refine our thinking and writing as we share our ideas about what we read. Each essay will make a claim about the reading and include evidence to support the interpretation. We will also devote time to revising our best work to practice strengthening our writing.
Unit 2 Writing Project
We will work on our argumentative essays for our second unit. We will plan our essays using the resources we have collected as a class to argue for a particular stance on an ethical issue.
