Journeys
Our next unit is based on Journeys. This is focusing not just on somebody traveling somewhere but also including a person's personal journey throughout their life or what they had to overcome to be successful.
The students are very excited for this theme because we are really differentiating and focusing on their guided reading novels. They are all reading award winning novels.
They are reading: Bud, not Buddy, Tuck Everlasting and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
Each story is very different but focuses on the characters or character and their journey throughout the story. As we are reading please be asking your child about these exceptional pieces of text.
Along the way we will be working on the story elements, how the author's use of language helps us understand the mood or time period and really reading for understanding.
