I browsed through the digital library, and I noticed the advanced search selections on the let. I utilized these to narrow my search to 6th grade ELA Reading for Learning CCS. Within this selection, I was able to find a book that we have read this year, "Hatchet". The functionality and amount of resources alone within Digital Library are great tools that can help teachers at my grade level. I am a fairly new teacher, who teaches English and Social Studies for three grade levels, and it is hard to find valuable resources to help guide instruction at times. This specific unit plan has a unit focus, summative unit assessments and daily tasks for each chapter to help a teacher guide reading and learning within the classroom. This is also great because each activity links to a Common Core State Standard. Each unit also has additional work, "extension tasks", for higher achieving students and suggestions for modifications and accommodations for lower achieving students. This is something that can be used within every 6th grade ELA class at my school.
