Learning Intention:
We are learning to make text to self, text to world and text to text connections.
Success Criteria:
I can:
- Bring background knowledge to the understanding of a text before, during and after reading
- Bring knowledge from personal experiences to the interpretation of characters and events
Key Questions:
- What does this story remind you of?
- Can you relate to the characters in the story?
- Does anything in this story remind you of anything in your own life?
Making Connections:
Spelling: The digraph /a-e/ making the sound “A” as in castle.
We are learning to write an entry into our writer’s notebook.
What is a Writer’s Notebook?
It’s a Place
Ralph Fletcher
Why am I keeping this notebook?
Because it’s a place where I
can keep track of my life.
It’s a place where I can observe closely
And where I can store
little pieces of strength.
It’s a place where I can keep
the elements of Life
(lightning, fire, ice, time and space)
and Writing
(poetry, words, eyes).
It’s a place where tales weave.
All in all
it’s a place for ME.
