If you have read the first Wingfeather Book: On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness it is time to read North! Or Be Eaten. This 4 week class meets twice a week to discuss this exciting book. Along with discussing the book, we will be making a timeline of events and learning reading strategies like visualizing the text, making connections, learning how to use context cues, predicting, making inferences and summarizing. You will need to read 8 chapters before class to be ready for the class discussion. During class we will talk about what we read, review vocabulary, have a lesson about a reading strategy and fill in our notebook. The notebook will be a combination of vocabulary, creative writing, and drawing.
