  2. UNIT SUMMARY • The students will be reading “The Monkey’s Paw” and “Three Wishes,” two short stories based on the Three Wishes story motif. The students will be completing story maps and comparison charts to write a five paragraph comparison/contrast essay. The students will also produce a “movie poster” or Power Point presentation based on their favorite story. The students will end the unit by producing an original free verse personal poem based on the three wishes motif to share with the class.

  3. VISION STATEMENT • During this unit, I hope to help the students to feel more connected to the literature they read and use their imagination to create a product and share it with their peers.
