Enhancing Storytelling through Description and Reflection Techniques

This unit focuses on the use of description and reflection to write compelling narratives. Students will engage in silent reading sessions and identify key moments in their novels, transforming them into performance-ready scenes. Vocabulary exercises will introduce new words associated with the unit's themes, encouraging critical thinking and creative expression. Through various assignments, including the exploration of literary characters and events, learners will refine their storytelling skills and deepen their understanding of narrative structure.
