6th: Today we began the day by brainstorming about what it means to evaluate as you read. We figured out that it means forming opinions about things as you read. Then, we did an activity, "stand by your opinion," about events/people in Seedfolks, where kids formed evaluations about the book. We read the chapter on Sae Young and completed the evaluations portion of our reading strategies packet and then turned in these packets. Finally, we marked up our world maps with where these new characters in the book are from.
Homework: Bring in something to glue to your pizza box about your personal culture about food.
7th: We began the class by writing our thoughts about government. Then, we broke off into small groups and had a discussion about our Giver reading, chapters 8-11. Then, we shared out in the large class what was discussed in the small groups. Finally, we touched back on the topic we started yesterday- informational text. We discussed text structure as a means of understanding informational text and then started on our homework for the weekend- reading the article attached to the packet and analyzing it for text features, graphic aids and text structures.
Homework: Read the Giver, chapters 12-15 and complete one active reading option per chapter (due Tuesday). Then, complete the informational text packet.
