We will also be doing other reading activities throughout the week.
This week's text: Soft Rain: A Story of the Cherokee Trail of Tears
Genre: Historical Fiction
Skill and Text Structure: Character, Point of View, Plot
Essential Questions:
-How does reading historical fiction help us make sense of the world?
-How do events affect a person's identity? How do their words and actions define them?
-What can we learn from our successes and mistakes?
-Over time, how has history changed the territories of different groups of people? How did the Trail of Tears impact the Cherokee and other Native Americans?
Students are working on lessons for their path on skills that they need to work on in iReady.
Weekly iReady expectations have been sent home.
I am meeting with small groups while others work on journal writing, independent reading, and reading skills.
We have been getting on chromebooks and joining and signing into various websites we may use throughout the year. All login information will be on a sheet that we will staple to the front of their planner.
Students have joined my Google Classroom, logged into a site, Epic!, that has books to read online, and other reading sites.
We will be looking at some of the history that goes along with our novel during Social Studies time.
