My Students
My students love to read but they rarely have the opportunity to read books together as a class. They will not only enjoy reading this classic book, but they will be able to engage in class discussions and share ideas about the book and the reasons behind its lasting popularity.
With this shared reading, students will be able to connect with vividly drawn, dynamic characters, a celebrated and influential author, and one another.
I look forward to offering them this rich experience.
My Project
During this unit, I will read some parts aloud to the class, additional reading and response will be assigned for homework, students will read in small groups and independently and they will have the chance to talk about the book with their peers every day.
While there is often time for kids to read independently, a whole class novel is a rare but valuable activity in a workshop classroom.
This novel is one that 6th graders adore. It's fast-paced and emotional, the clash between characters is intense, and the narrator is a quiet hero whose troubles and flaws feel familiar.
