3PA Update

Last week, students read "The Green Man" by Gail Hailey.  They were intrigued by the plot of the story and had various theories about the main character.  During the upcoming week, students will work to clarify their understandings of the main character's transformation as well as other important events in the story.  This work will occur during a close reading of the text.  Students will be annotating the text and will focus on internal and external change, details, big ideas, symbolism, etc... This work will span across the entire week.  Each learner has been exposed to annotation and has a good grasp of the concepts. As a result, I will be encouraging independence with this skill.  We will begin the week with a model and shared practice.  Then, students will be responsible for completing this task independently.  Please be aware that students will be given specific portions of the text to annotate and will not be required to annotate the entire text.
