6th: Today, we reviewed one of the reading strategies we practiced yesterday- predicting. We made predictions and completed the prediction page of this packet. Then, we read chapter 3 of Seedfolks together. Then, we did a world map activity using the atlases. We will complete the activity on Monday and use our maps to trace the characters in the Seedfolks.
Homework: Bring in an artifact that represents what you do for fun in your free time. This artifact/picture will be used for your pizza box project in the recreation/play part of your personal culture. Don't forget to bring your binder to class on Monday.
7th: We began the class by sharing what we visualized when reading chapter 2 last night. We made a timeline of our pictures and explained what happened in chapter 2. Then, we shared our active reading strategy posters we made in groups yesterday. Afterward, we read chapter 3 as a class, discussing the book and practicing more with active reading. Lastly, Ms. Devine introduced the Perfect World project and students worked in pairs or independently to brainstorm about their perfect world. We will continue working on this project on Monday.
Homework: Read chapter 4 of The Giver. Don't forget to bring your binder to class on Monday. You may work on the perfect world project, if you like.
