Who’s ready to start a brand new unit? I am! We’re wrapping up The Great Fire and preparing to start reading Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief.
Here’s what we’ve covered with Jim Murphy’s The Great Fire:
- How to build/activate prior knowledge before reading a text
- Theme (message)
- Infer (a logical guess based on information from the text and we know)
- Collaborative Discussions
- Close Reading
As we start our new unit, we should be active readers. Here’s the game plan:
1. Be sure to bring sticky flags or markers to class on Monday.
2. We will label our flags similar to the image above.
3. When we read, we will make sure we are active readers; let’s engage with the text!
