- Files
This lesson includes scaffolded analytical writing tasks that provide examples for teaching Common Core writing.
In the beginning, Walnut isn't taking the task of using the bow and arrow to shoot the moss seriously, but he must demonstrate his ability to shoot in order to become a man. After learning Walnut has bad vision, Walnut’s mom switches tactics and blindfolds him, then when the tribe convenes, Walnut demonstrates his ability to “see” and is given the name of “Sees Behind Trees.” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt StoryTown, 2008)
