Within and across grades, the units fit tongue-and-groove alongside each other.

Skills and concepts introduced in one unit are revisited and strengthened, both within a grade level and across grade levels. The Learning Progressions that undergird the Units of Study in Writing are cohesively organized to help teachers see ways to teach toward big goals, offering a clear map of what writing development looks like, grade by grade and level by level. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the new \u003ci\u003eUnits of Study for Teaching Writing, Grade 2\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Units of Study in Writing for Grade 2\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to help your students take all of the writing skills in their possession to the next level, and to prepare them with the skills they'll need to be successful in third grade and beyond. In  \u003ci\u003eUnit 1, Making Small Moments Big\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll draw on the first-grade notion that stories can be about small, every day, beautifully mundane moments—but now, you'll offer a new angle. You'll nudge students to consider not only times in their lives, but also the feelings they felt, to find moments that matter.  \u003ci\u003eUnit 2, Chapter Books: Writing Nonfiction from the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, emphasises writing nonfiction from the heart on topics that matter deeply to your students while reminding students that nonfiction can be more than just listing facts. In  \u003ci\u003eUnit 3, Finding Awesome Everywhere: Celebrating through Opinion Writing\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll teach writers to become the kinds of people who pay particular attention to the awesome parts of life, encouraging students to write more thoughtfully about their lives, the things they love, and the books they read. The second-grade writing workshop concludes with  \u003ci\u003eUnit 4, Writing Research-Based Nonfiction\u003c\/i\u003e, in which you'll invite your kids to become researchers, learning through study and note-taking, through gathering facts and growing ideas about a topic. They'll be asked to write numerous chapter books (sometimes on the same topic) using different organising structures. By the end of this writing workshop, students will have the confidence and motivation necessary to continue writing creatively over the summer and into Grade 3. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eGrade 2 Unit Titles\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMaking Small Moments Big (Unit 1)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eChapter Books: Writing Nonfiction from the Heart (Unit 2)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFinding Awesome Everywhere: Celebrating through Opinion Writing (Unit 3)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWriting Research-Based Nonfiction (Unit 4)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  The new primary  \u003ci\u003eUnits of Study in Reading and Writing\u003c\/i\u003e represent wholesale changes.
