This Week in Literacy: (Some things we worked on)
Writing Workshop
- We've been reading many poems and familiar songs for poetry inspiration.
- We've been talking about seeing objects "through a poets eyes" and discussing what this means.
- We've also been talking about different ways to set poems up using varying line breaks.
Reading Workshop
- This week we read and discussed many of our favorite characters, including Olivia and Lily.
- Students were introduced to ways to talk to their reading partners about the characters in their books. We can start with, "I noticed that my character ______________ and that makes me think ____________." The partner is encouraged to extend the talk by stating, "I agree, because _________" or "I disagree, because_____________."
