3. Write a 1-paragraph report about the Brothers Grimm.
4. Correctly use new vocabulary words: devoted and publish.
Note: This IEW unit focuses on summarizing. Students need to be able to choose a few important facts from a longer source text and weave them together in a way that makes sense. This is not a unit that allows for creativity. Students need to stick to the facts. They should focus on learning and/or perfecting the skill of writing topic sentences and clinchers. A topic sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph and tell what the paragraph is about. All facts should support the topic sentence. A paragraph clincher is a sentence at the end of a paragraph that repeats or reflects two-3 key words from the topic sentence and reminds the reader what the paragraph was about. The repeating/reflecting (synonym) words should be highlighted in both the topic sentence and clincher.
