Each week we will read a few chapters of The Wild Robot together in class. I will read aloud to the students and also ask for class volunteers to read. If your student does not want to read aloud, please do not worry! I believe reading should be enjoyable not something to be feared. After we read our chapters, we will have a class discussion of the plot, any funny or interesting passages, and vocabulary words. I also love to take elements from the story and explore them on a deeper level. Following discussion will be our creative time. Each week we will work on a robot themed craft. Because I want students to fall in love with reading, I will be energetic for each session and open to students discussing what makes The Wild Robot memorable to them.
Learning Goals
