Verbs, BWWF & The Breadwinner

6th: Today we began class with verb practice. Then, we finished up term 2 book commercials. From there, we had the last day of verb time for students to complete their progress towards meeting the standard. From there, we read together chapter 5 of BWWF and did our daily plot reflection with this chapter.
Homework: Complete verb practice, due tomorrow. Read and record.

7th:
Today we began class by reading chapter 13 of the Breadwinner. Then, we discussed PLOT and plot development, something we haven't discussed since last year. We did a plot development foldable and then we reviewed where the events of the plot in the Breadwinner fall along that plot development chart. Then we talked about the ways that authors depict characters- what they do, what they say/think, how they look and what other say/think about them. We looked at Parvana in the rising action and how the author used these aspects to paint her character.
Homework: Read and record. Afghan food day tomorrow- can't wait to eat what you bring! Yum!
