Reading - Q1 Week 9 Day 1
Today, we learned the first Big Question for reading non-fiction: What Surprised Me?
Students read an article called "Vampires Prey on Panama". We did the first few paragraphs together, then students finished on their own. As they read, they highlighted anything that surprised them. Then we talked about how to annotate those highlights. In the margins, students wrote a note about why they highlighted that information.
After discussing with an elbow partner and groups, students read a second article called "Why Don't Cats Wear Shoes" and practiced independently.
