Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful, snow filled , three day weekend!
First, I want to thank you all for welcoming me into your class and allowing me the opportunity to teach you. I am really looking forward to getting to know each of you more in the next several weeks!
Second, you were all supposed to read Chapters 1 - 4 in The Snow Child over the weekend so our plan for today will center around that.
AGENDA:
1. Brief introduction/review of The Snow Child and homesteading.
2. Discussion guides.
a. Get into pairs or groups of three and work together to answer the discussion questions. Find evidence from the novel to help support the answers you come up with and include page numbers!
b.Once you have answered all the discussion questions, we will go over them as a class.
3. Close reading activity: Pages 6-9.
a. We will be reading this passage aloud as a class.
b. Then reread the passage silently to yourself and jot down any observations you have on the sheet you will be given. Look for figurative language (i.e. similes, metaphors, imagery, personification, symbolism, etc.)
c. After you have finished, we will go over your observations as a class.
4. With the remaining class time, keep working on finding a folktale/fairytale for your final story. If you have already found one, start thinking about how you would include a scene like the one from close reading activity into your own story.
HOMEWORK:
Read Chapters 5-8 in The Snow Child
