Transformations in Stories and Arguments
Transformations in Stories and Arguments explores essential questions, such as "How does the development of a character build the reader's understanding? How do the actions of others change the world? How do words and images impact our thinking?" This unit, developed by Vanderbilt University's Programs for Talented Youth, is aligned to the Common Core State Standards and features accelerated content, creative products, differentiated tasks, engaging activities, and the use of in-depth analysis models to develop sophisticated skills in the language arts. Through the lens of transformation, students will examine narrative and persuasive elements essential to the analysis of short stories, advertisements, visual art, scientific argumentation, and their own writing. Students will discover transformations in themselves and their written work as they craft and revise narrative and persuasive pieces, realizing their own voice in the process. Ideal for gifted classrooms or gifted pull-out groups, the unit features stories by Dan Santat, Fiona Roberton, Jannell Cannon, Christopher Myers, Maurice Sendak, Daniel Manus Pinkwater, Jane Yolen, and Patricia Polacco; poetry by Carl Sandburg; sculptures by Arturo Di Modica and Kristen Visbal; a viewing of Pixar's short film Lou and a variety of commercials; and engaging short nonfiction readings.

Around the world, every culture holds a rich tapestry of myths, legends, and beliefs that shape their identities, traditions, and understandings of the world. These stories have been passed down through generations, offering explanations for the unexplainable, teaching lessons about human nature, and connecting communities to the supernatural. From the towering spirits of ancient forests to the mysterious creatures of the deep seas, the myths of different countries reveal a fascinating glimpse into how we, as humans, make sense of the mysteries surrounding us. In this collection, we explore 101 countries and their most popular myths or beliefs, each representing a unique part of human history and culture. From the mysterious and powerful creatures in Africa to the ghostly spirits of the Middle East, and the fantastical legends from Europe to Oceania, these myths are not just stories—they are reflections of the fears, hopes, and dreams of people across the globe. These myths, whether rooted in ancient traditions or modern interpretations, serve to connect people to their history and to one another, transcending time and geography. Some stories are intended to warn or teach, others are purely for entertainment, but all hold a universal truth—that the human imagination is as boundless as the world itself. Join us on a journey through the diverse landscapes of mythology and belief, and discover the tales that have shaped cultures across continents.
