쿠키 앤 밀크 북 클럽

In these sessions, after baking a warm batch of cookies, we will follow the story of Calvin from "Trouble Next Door" by Karen English.  As we munch on fresh baked cookies, we will use different types of outlines to discuss characters, sequence of events and inferences. We will determine the author's purpose, point of view and how the author engaged the reader while exploring the stories’ conflicts and solutions.   We will uses the 5E method (engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate) to discuss Calvin's adventures.  Finally, we will use our outline to create a book report presentation.  We will use the five questions family to develop three paragraphs re-telling the beginning, middle, end and lessons learned from the story.  We will also make a recipe book from our weekly fresh baked cookies.  Our weekly breakdown will be:
