As we move into our new unit on nonfiction reading, we begin with narrative biographies. We will read about people who have made a difference in our world.
If you could read a biography about any important/famous/special person, who would it be? Why? What would you want to know about that person? Please write your response in complete sentences and respond to two other classmates' posts.

As we complete our Character Study Unit in Reading, it is time to reflect on all you've learned. You became stronger fiction readers by learning how to find a just right book, how to notice and note the six Signposts, and how to form new ideas about your characters (using STEAL, using C.E.R, etc.).
Think back to the past couple of months and share with your classmates how you've grown as a reader. What are one or two things you learned in reading this unit that made you a stronger fiction reader? For the past week, we have been noticing different details about our characters by using STEAL. We noticed how a character speaks, thinks, how they affect others, acts and looks. Through all of this investigating, we are beginning to formulate a character theory. What are your theories about your characters? What did you realize when you started paying attention to the little details about this character? Did your character change throughout the book? How? Share your ideas and comment on two other classmates' ideas as well. Happy blogging!
Tell your classmates all about your reading habits.
Pick a few of the following questions to answer and let us get to know you as a reader! Who is your favorite author? What is the best book you've ever read? What is the best book someone has read to you? What topics do you enjoy reading about? What strategies do you use as you read? Be sure to comment to 2 other posts. Try to make your answers meaningful. One word answers like "Cool!" show you like their response but it doesn't connect to that reader. Be sure to connect and communicate in a way that builds our reading community. |
