Transformations in Stories and Arguments explores essential
questions, such as "How does the development of a character build
the reader's understanding? How do the actions of others change the
world? How do words and images impact our thinking?" This unit,
developed by Vanderbilt University's Programs for Talented Youth,
is aligned to the Common Core State Standards and features
accelerated content, creative products, differentiated tasks,
engaging activities, and the use of in-depth analysis models to
develop sophisticated skills in the language arts. Through the lens
of transformation, students will examine narrative and persuasive
elements essential to the analysis of short stories,
advertisements, visual art, scientific argumentation, and their own
writing. Students will discover transformations in themselves and
their written work as they craft and revise narrative and
persuasive pieces, realizing their own voice in the process. Ideal
for gifted classrooms or gifted pull-out groups, the unit features
stories by Dan Santat, Fiona Roberton, Jannell Cannon, Christopher
Myers, Maurice Sendak, Daniel Manus Pinkwater, Jane Yolen, and
Patricia Polacco; poetry by Carl Sandburg; sculptures by Arturo Di
Modica and Kristen Visbal; a viewing of Pixar's short film Lou and
a variety of commercials; and engaging short nonfiction readings.
