During the upcoming week, 3PA will continue to explore a literary piece entitled "Shells" by Cynthia Rylant. The students will be introduced to text annotation and will be responsible for identifying generalizations of change examples within the story. We will also be discussing and identifying various themes within the text. Theme is often referred to as the "big idea" and is inferred by the reader. The students will be encouraged to look for clues to determine what the author wants the reader to understand (e.g. honesty, compassion, trustworthiness, etc...). Towards the end of the week, learners will be participating in a literary discussion about the story. The goal will be for ALL students to contribute ideas that represent critical thinking. Interpretive questions will be posed that will allow students to use their personal experiences and evidence from the text to support their thinking.
Please be on the lookout for the first quarter progress report which will be sent home on Friday, October 25th.
