Reading - Q1 Week 5 Day 3
Today we finished discussing Chapter 1 of The Cay. We also read Chapter 2 and then we discussed the book so students could write a response.
The guiding question for the first two chapters was: "How has the war affected Phillip's family?"
We created a general statement to answer the question, via table group brainstorming and then class discussion. Then students went back into the two chapters to find at least three examples to support our general statement.
Then, we wrote a class response paragraph using the examples. Students put this into their Reading Notebook with today's date and "Chapters 1-2 Response". Be sure to copy this from someone onto your own notebook with the correct heading.
