Quirky Character Unit
In January's read aloud we will discuss what we think "quirky" (unique, odd, unusual, and peculiar) means. We will read books based on characters who are quirky- like Amber Brown and Junie B. Jones. We will list ideas and predictions about these characters. This unit will help students get to know these quirky characters by focusing on their problems, relationships, and their personalities.
Once we list our ideas about the characters we will work to gather the evidence to support those ideas. If we cannot find evidence to support our thinking we will work with students to revise our ideas and pursue a new line of thinking.
There will be lots of turning and talking with partners in this unit. This will help our student's to take turns and to truly listen to their classmates.
