GUIDING QUESTION How can people overcome conflict?
Reflect on Your Reading
Think back on your reading of the unit selections. Discuss what you did to understand what you read.
In this unit, you learned that authors use word choice to support their purpose for writing. Choose a selection from the unit. Then, list words and phrases that show why the author wrote that selection. Trade lists with a partner, and explain how each word choice supports the author’s purpose.
As you read the selections, you made inferences based on the text and your own experiences. Explain to a partner how you will use this strategy in the future.
