Reading - Q3 Week 2 Day 2

Today we read the prelude to Flesh & Blood So Cheap, the non-fiction text that we will be reading along with our novel this month. Students discussed the content.

Then we read the dedication page to Uprising and discussed it. Students made inferences about the dedication with their elbow partners, then shared. We read the first chapter and discussed. We talked about flashback.

Then students thought about:
Why might an author choose to start a story at the end? Why do you think Haddix chose to use this technique? As a reader and writer, what do you think about this as a beginning?
