Grade 3 – Unit 12
Explore the secrets of plant survival! Take Grade 3 students on a fascinating journey into how plants adapt to survive in deserts, swamps, forests, and more. This Releasing-Writers-inspired unit uses a clear mentor text, vocabulary support, and exemplars to help students practise writing with the subordinating conjunction unless, while explaining how adaptations help plants grow and thrive. Connected to the Grade 3 Science curriculum, Strand B: Growth and Changes in Plants, B2.4, students will investigate real plant adaptations and show their understanding through thoughtful, evidence-based writing.
