In this LightUnit there are no penmanship lessons to allow students more time to write their research paper. Spelling lessons will focus on words derived from facere, the suffix -ism, and silent e words. Note, because of the research paper there are no quizzes or tests in this unit. Lesson 15 includes a scoring guide for the research paper. 48 pgs., pb. ~Rebecca
