We have started a new unit: Character Studies. During this unit, students will learn how to get to know a character and develop theories (ideas) about characters. During the second part of the unit, students will be in book clubs. Students will frequently meet with their book club to discuss ideas, questions, etc. about their club's book. Students will be learning about the structure of a story and how character's typically experience a change through their journey. During the third and final part of the unit, students will compare and contrast characters across different books. Students will make observations and generalizations about characters across stories, like how they handle situations and what life lessons characters learn.

Our Current Read Aloud:
Read alouds are used to teach reading skills and strategies. Sometimes I read new parts of our read aloud during our lessons. Other times, I go back to previously read parts to teach a skill and strategy. I ask that students do not read the current read aloud until after we finish it. Archives
