Task Overview One of the things you may not have ever considered is that your teacher must preview all texts you read in class to ensure they meet the learning goals in the unit. In order to provide you and your classmates with more student choice, your teacher has asked you to preview a text to determine whether or not it is a good fit for the skills addressed within Unit 1 and complete a text evaluation. You may choose a narrative from a variety of media including short stories, novels, poetry, podcasts, video games, tv series, movies, etc.

Final Product:

Create a product that includes your final recommendation for a text we should use in class to teach the skills from the 1st 9 weeks. What you create is up to you! It could be a slideshow presentation, infographic, iMovie, written response, etc. Be sure to include your reasons from the evaluation sheet!

Don't forget to check the rubric before you submit your final product:

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
