« Sunny Tuesday | Main | Welcome to the Write-Place! »

As we continued working on our response to literature PowerPoint, students discovered that writing about the key four events was more challenging than they expected. Since each student had a reading partner at home, discussions about the Dream Series novel helps students analyze and summarize aspects of the story. A good topic of conversation at dinner might be about the events that helped the main character learn a lesson that changed his/her life.

Holiday Reading: Students have been asked to read 2 books (each at least 150 pages or 1 if over 300 pages) between December 14 and January 8th. They received 2 copies of a book report form to fill out for each book (due when we return from winter break).

Skills:
Analyzing characters for response to literature project
Analyzing lessons learned and theme
Four events leading to lesson learned (include four details of the event)
Paragraph structure: topic sentence, detail sentences, clincher sentence
Sentence variety: Compound sentences

HOMEWORK:
Read for 20 to 30 minutes
