Multimodal Texts
Students read, write, and speak across a breadth of texts, including: news articles, videos, picture books, games, role-plays, and more.

Multilingualism
Students use their full linguistic repertoires to make meaning, share thinking, compare languages, and offer new insights into the unit content.
