3PA Update

This week students will be wrapping up their annotations for The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. For this piece, we delved deeper into the annotation process.  Students focused on the generalizations of change, internal and external change, character traits and symbolism.  I have been very impressed with their level of thinking.  For the remainder of the week, students will be participating in discussions about the text through a routine known as "Chat Stations."  They will be provided with time to consider the questions being posed and then share their perspectives with their peers.  Students will also be writing diamante' poems that express the internal and external change of the main character.  I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
