"Take turns reading the author's note and then discuss why you think it would be the most difficult to write about history"
"I wonder how the book would have been different if a man with Native American heritage had written it."
"Imagine all of the things you would learn researching for a book like this! It would be so cool!"
Context
"I didn't think about that, that's a good point Mina!"
I didn't really understand it, I'm glad I get to hear what they think
ELA Schedule
I need to find a way to incorporate more actual reading into our day. Maybe an independent reading time at the beginning of class?Readers theater? Maybe more poems, those are quick and full of figurative language...
Task
I found so many great poems about different things, at different levels!
"Today you will all choose a poem that interests you. We will take some time to read it independently. You will them get together with your groups, and read your poems to eachother and discuss them."
Bringing it together
Bringing it all together
I'm glad I get to practice reading it to myself first.
