11/8
We read for 10 minutes then watched a quick clip of a successful group discussion. We then set up our writer's notebooks with a T chart to record evidence of Mrs. Effie Barr's teaching to help form an opinion about whether she is a good teacher or not. If you were absent, see me for the handout. HW: read/log/post-it and remember logs are due Thursday and I will collect Reader's notebooks tomorrow.
11/7
Today we read for 10 minutes then reviewed discussion groundrules and then broke into discussion groups to share questions we had as we read the story for the first time. We wrapped up class sharing lingering questions so we could be prepared to read 'The Cat and the Coffee Drinkers" for the second time. HW: Read/Log/Post-it and LONGWRITE.
