9th & 10th Grade ELA Curriculum Units & Lessons | Thematic & Genre Based Units

This ELA Bundle for Grade 9 and 10 provides thematic and genre-based units, lessons and notes for a full year of freshman or sophomore English, whether it be on-level, Honors, or Pre-AP. These units can be taught by genre, by unit, or a good mix of both. Nearly all of the materials for this resource have already been created, but I'm still in the process of finishing up the final few - hence the Growing Bundle status.

⭐ How to use this ELA Thematic & Genre Based Units Bundle for Grade 9 & 10:

• These resources can be split into an Honors track, using the thematic units to bring in more rhetorical analysis and Socratic methods, or an on-level track, sticking to genres. Or you can mix and match as you see fit!
• This bundle has been designed with flexibility in mind, with as many resources as possible being editable, while still allowing for simple prep and protecting design elements and teaching integrity.
