Unit 2

PACING 5 weeks NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR

In Canyons School District, we recognize that to read is to learn. All books offer different learning opportunities, and therefore our collections are accessible, inclusive, and varied. The library is a refuge for student choice in learning and leisure reading. In the library, students are given time and opportunity to select materials that satiate their own academic needs and personal interests. When students are engaged in reading, they are independently curious, skilled at navigating various subjects, formats, and genres, and excited to participate in personal and formal learning. This unit prepares students to access library materials independently and engage with those texts deeply by teaching the Reading Engagement standards as outlined in the Utah Elementary Library Media Core. KEY STANDARD(S) 1.1: Establish reading behaviors for lifelong learning and growth. 1.2: Differentiate between literary (fiction) and informational (non-fiction) text. 2.1: Demonstrate knowledge of the physical features of reading materials, both electronic and print. 2.3: Identify the elements of story. 2.4: Identify the roles, tools, and purposes of authors, illustrators, and other contributors for a text. 3.3: Contribute to a reading and learning community, including recommending reading materials to peers and respecting others’ reading choices. 3.4: Make use of personal, community and global libraries, both physical and electronic. END OF UNIT COMPETENCY Students will respect each others’ book choices. Students will identify the parts of a book and its creators.
