Does your learner enjoy classic fairytales? I do, too!  This engaging 2-Day summer reading camp, focuses on Compare & Contrast, Sequencing, Comprehension, and Point of View literary elements based on national standards. In class, students will hear, discuss, and write about two perspectives of the classic fairytale, "Jack & the Beanstalk." We'll get to hear from Jack's point-of-view, and from the giant's point-of-view, too! How do the stories differ? I hope your learner will join me to find out! 

Each class, I will read one version of the story aloud and students will fine tune their comprehension skills by actively participating in answering higher-order thinking questions throughout the story, engaging with me, and hearing from each other. At the conclusion of the story, we will complete a graphic organizer as a class (writing activity), with the guidance of the teacher. Details are below!

Day 1: Teacher reads the story from Jack's point-of-view. Students practice comprehension skills and are asked questions for discussion. After reading, students work with the teacher to complete a "Sequencing" graphic organizer where they will practice writing and narrating the events of the story in chronological order. (There will be a handout sent home before class to print out so students can write on it during class)

Day 2: Teacher reads the story from the Giant's point-of-view, using the book, "Giants Have Feeling, Too." Students engage in comprehension practice and discussion throughout the story. After reading, students will work with the teacher to write and complete a "Compare & Contrast" graphic organizer, focusing on the two perspectives and how they are alike or different. (There will be a handout sent before class to print out)

I'm looking forward to seeing your learner in class!

Have a wonderful day!
