Activity 1. Hey Fifth Grade - Listen to the first chapter of this great book, read by the author herself! Then, if you are game, try your hand at the writing exercise she suggests. If you are even "gamer" share it with me at ethomas@ucfsd.net!
Author Jo Knowles reads from the first chapter of her MG novel WHERE THE HEART IS and offers students a fun writing exercise! For more about Jo and her books, or for teachers/book group guides that go along with her books, visit her website.
Activity 2. This link will give you 5 days worth of reading and activities. Pick and choose. There's some great information in here. You won't be graded, but look out! (you might learn something!)
