4PA Update

4PA will begin our week together by sharing their theories about the text "The Old Man and His Affectionate Son" which they devised last week.  We will also take the time to review unknown vocabulary by using Quizlet. Quizlet is an interactive online site that assists students with learning new terms in an engaging way.  The upcoming story is a folktale and it is important that students review what this genre entails.  Learners will be encouraged to share what they know about the characteristics of folktales and we will discuss their understandings and/or misconceptions.  Then, we will begin reading the literary piece.  Each learner will be responsible for annotating.  We will highlight and uncover the following concepts when annotating the text: theme/big ideas, ethics, details, cause and effect, etc... I am looking forward to a great week of learning!
