Today, students met in book clubs and began with a written conversation activity (passing notes!) and then then had a discussion about their reading using what they had written. We debriefed the discussion. Miss Devine passed out book club "role sheets" and students glued these into their book club journals. Tonight's homework is to do the assigned reading and do one "role." Be prepared to discuss your role tomorrow. These are the book club roles:
Connector, Questioner, Literary Luminary, Illustrator, Summarizer, Scene Starter, Word Wizard, Researcher.
We began our study of grammar today with NOUNS. We had a noun race and then started the noun practice sheet in class.
A group of students reading After the War modeled their "think alouds" on the overhead for the class.
Homework: Read and do role. Noun practice sheet.
