3PA Update

This week, students will complete their reading of "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Andersen.  They will be guided through the annotation process and will focus on internal and external change, theme, and symbolism. We will work on annotating the text Monday-Wednesday.  Then, students will participate in an activity referred to as "Chat Stations".  Students will be provided with higher-level questions and will use text evidence to support their responses.  This will be a wonderful way to foster discussion about the text and will encourage students to use critical thinking skills.  Also, students will practice appropriate speaking and listening skills.  I look forward to observing these conversations and hearing their thoughts and opinions about the text.
