I really like the idea of the Double-Entry Diaries. I think it helps the teacher see what the student is learning from the text read, and it also lets them put their thoughts about what is read on paper. When using the Data Retrieval Chart, it gives students the opportunity to learn about citing where they got their information. This will come in handy in later years when they start doing bibliographies, or work cited pages. I had never thought about using tea bags or coffee grounds to make a Wanted poster look more authentic. I thought that was a really neat idea. This unit was very easy to follow, and I liked how everything was laid out in just a few short pages.
