We have begun our book club/novel study unit in Grade 4. The theme of the unit is children taking action and using their abilities to bring about positive change! It connects nicely with the 'Chalice', our school-wide Lenten fundraising project and is very appropriate theme for the liturgical season of Lent! The book club will take approximately six weeks to complete. For now, will continue to have weekly word study words (unless I inform you otherwise). Our daily morning sharing/debate circle will continue as per usual.
There are several aspects to the book club:
- Class Read Aloud text 'The City of Ember'
- Shared Reading Activities
- Small and large group discussions
- Vocabulary enrichment activities
- Independent reading time of individually assigned book club texts which are based on the approximate reading levels
- Group work activties based on assigned book club texts
- Reader reponse activities (retell, predict, review)
- Writing activities
