UNIT 2
The Power to Change
Visual Prompt: Plants change from one season to another and often grow in unexpected places. What trait would this plant show that you might use in your own goals for change?
Unit Overview
Where do we get the power to change? How do both internal and external forces help us see the world from a new perspective and possibly even change the course of our lives? In this unit, you will go on a journey with Salamanca Tree Hiddle, the main character of the novel Walk Two Moons, as she searches for her missing mother. You will travel to Paradise Falls with an elderly man who is looking for adventure and finds instead a talking dog. You will reflect and write about changes in fictional characters, in the world, and in yourself. Finally, you will conduct research and read nonfiction in order to write about how animals have the power to change our lives for
the better.
