Reader’s Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting this week, we started our first unit for Reader’s Workshop, Interpreting Characters: The Heart of the Story. Through this unit, the student’s goals are to think in the character’s shoes and imagine the scenes from the book they are reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first session started with a read-aloud of “Tiger Rising.” The first chapter is a few pages long but has a very descriptive paragraph when the main character encounters a tiger in a cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been listening carefully to the story and have learned how to make notes on “important things to talk about later.” Taking notes while reading is also an important strategy for them to read intensely and a step to think in the character’s shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
