Description
Class Experience
Students will retell portions of a story. Students will participate in discussions about the literary work and analyze characters, motives, and the author's purpose in the text. Students will predict what will happen in a story. Students will role play scenes from a story to demonstrate comprehension. Students will complete vocabulary activities.
Students will be assigned a portion of the text to read independently after each class session, and make note of three aspects of the reading: something that surprised them, something they had a question about, and something that made them happy or excited. They will share these notes during the discussion at the beginning of the following class. Students may also complete other worksheets and activities as assigned.
