Here’s what we did today:
1. We began class with a poem that was passed out a few weeks ago (page 17 in the Poetry Table of Contents), “Phizzog” by Carl Sandburg.
2. Today’s booktalk was Green Witch by Alice Hoffman. Hoffman is one of Mrs. Peterson’s favorite authors. Talk to her for more information.
Green Witch
Several students also shared books that they are reading:
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
Ashes by Ilsa Bick
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Gregor The Overlander by Suzanne Collins
3. Finally, we introduced the study skill/reading strategy called Reading With A Pencil. Mrs. Peterson demonstrated the technique to the whole class using the handout: Coyote by Christine Schadler. The article appeared in the November/December 2010 issue of New Hampshire Fish & Game’s New Hampshire Wildlife Journal.
