Last week, I was so impressed with the rich discussions that took place in relation to literary conflict. The level of student engagement blew me away! We have learned about character vs. self, character vs. character and character vs. society. During the upcoming week, we will wrap up our conflict study by learning about character vs. nature. We will be reading The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and looking for characteristics that connect to character vs. nature conflict. Students will also be viewing the video of The Lorax (original version).
Later in the week, students will be introduced to our first major literary piece entitled "Lenny's Red-Letter Day". During our literary analysis, learners will be responsible for completing annotations which will be linked to the Depth and Complexity framework. Social and Emotional Learning will also be integrated and students will be discussing the importance of friendship and factors that influence how they choose their friends.
Please be on the lookout for the first quarter progress report which will be sent home on Friday, October 25th.
