Description
2021 update includes a passage on Indigenous Peoples' Day. This current unit has grown to include a passage for those moving away from celebrating Columbus Day and moving toward celebrating the cultures here prior to explorers and settlers. This passage can also be used with prior materials to provide a more complete view of historical events. As we know better we do better.
Columbus, A European Explorer: These differentiated passages are perfect for fluency, comprehension, and close reading. I have included a full writing unit to help your students write the "perfect paragraph" including that tricky sense of closure! The darling art will bring this unit to life, delight your learners, and make your classroom beautiful!

High Praise for Power Passage Units:
- "Never have I had such a comprehensive unit that is absolutely perfect for ALL my kiddos. The graphic organizers that support the writing... top notch. My kids were writing paragraphs with openings and closings WEEK ONE. I send home the reading practice for homework. I was dumbfounded when my ELS kids... still in early reading behaviors... touched and read the passages top to bottom. Worth EVERY penny. I wish I had bundled!" -Suzan Sudlow
- "First off, thank you for being such an inspirational speaker at the K-1 conference! You inspired me to do more, and your bundles have helped me up my game without making my life harder! Thank you for adding all the pictures and examples." -Natalia C
