Book Groups

In the next few days, we will start reading biographies.  Everyone will choose their own biography to read (it’s fun to watch them “shop” for a book!) and write a report (in a fun, non boring way!) about who they chose. 

Until then, we continue to work on our various books.  We are focusing on vocabulary and ways to use the new words we learn in our own writing. 

We have also started working on inferring again (we work on this throughout the entire year to different degrees). 

•  Making inferences about the setting to help in understanding the story

•  Infer character traits, feelings, and motivations from what characters say, think, or do and what other say or think about them

•  Infer complex relationships between and among characters by noticing evidence in their response to each other
