"Posted" by John David Anderson - Novel Unit
"Posted" by John David Anderson is a page turner book, and I created this unit so that students would have some responsibility at chapter ends but would not be delayed long. Consequently, for every chapter I have three (mostly multiple part) questions, similar to exit tickets but a little longer and more detailed. I broke up the story into four units: Ch.1 to 5; Ch.6 to 10; Ch.7 to 15, Ch. 16 to 20. It should do well for a read-aloud, all-class reading, or small groups. Include

Choosing Relevant Evidence: Argument Essay Practice:
This is a practice activity to help students choose evidence that is credible and relevant to a given claim.
I found that my students would often do their research, but then not choose the most compelling evidence for their claims in an argument essay. This multiple choice practice is a great way to help students practice this skill.
I had students complete the worksheet after discussing the definitions of relevant and credible (noted at the top of the page). Then we discussed why the correct
