Today, students met again in book clubs and began with a membership grid activity. Each group had a discussion about chapter one of the book without any teacher guidelines. Afterwards, we processed what went well and what did not go well in these discussions. We made guidelines for good book club discussions. Each group created a reading calendar and determined how much reading they needed to do each night in order to have books completed by the eve of Thursday, October 8th.
Miss Devine modeled "thinking aloud" as she read and students created a list of all the different types of thinking that could be done when reading. Miss D. distributed a pack of sticky notes to each student and explained the homework- to do assigned group reading and to mark any "thinking" while reading on the pages with sticky notes.
Homework: Reminder: Red and yellow tables have current events due Friday. Brittney and Jory are discussion leaders. Students need to do assigned reading and mark "thinking" on the sticky notes as they read. Come prepared to talk about your "thinking" with your group tomorrow in class.
