In this week’s episode, Andrew Pudewa and Julie Walker discuss Unit 4, the linchpin of the structural units. As students summarize longer references, they learn important skills that they will use in subsequent units: dividing subjects into topics, limiting facts, and following the topic-clincher rule. Andrew and Julie explore how these important skills help students choose interesting, important, or relevant facts and write cohesive, thoughtful paragraphs.
