How does using word attack skills in decoding support comprehension?

How do metaphors and similes help a reader determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text?

What are the components of speculative writing?

How does organization and the development of complete thoughts effectively communicate the writer’s ideas and facilitate

understanding?

What is audience etiquette?

Students will use their life experiences to create poems, while using elements of poetry

Students will showcase their best piece of writing
