Well, we started Tuesday out really well. I am thinking the rest of the week will be more of the same! Our Teens Change the World unit begins today with our reading about teens, both realistic fiction and biography, who have changed the world. After the tragic events in Paris, Beruit, and Africa this weekend, we are beginning to discuss how now, more than ever, we need to do something to bring kindness, peace, and love to our world.
Tuesday: Begin book club book and practice the comprehension strategy of connections, asking questions, making prediction, and/or looking for new vocabulary.
Wednesday: continue reading book club book and write a paragraph summarizing the setting and characters.
Thursday: continue reading book and use vocabulary book to make a class vocabulary word wall.
Friday: continue reading book club book and begin a tableau to share with the rest of the class of the most memorable scene.
