Reading BLOCK 1 ~ 4/4

Today students finished reading their mini AR book with their partner.  Afterwards they took their mini AR book and compared/contrasted it to The Gold Coin.  Students completed a Venn diagram to compare/contrast the two stories.  After their Venn diagram students answered question #5 in their mini AR book using SLAMS (don't forget your supporting details).  This question related to their mini AR book and The Gold Coin.  

Below are the questions from each Mini AR book.  Make sure you find the book you were reading with your partner.  

From Dust to Hope
     5. Frances in this story and the thief in The Gold 
         Coin both learned something about kindness of 
         strangers.  Compare and contrast their         
         experiences. 

The Peace Corps
     5. Do you think the thief in The Gold Coin would 
         have made a good Peace Corps volunteer? Why 
         or Why not?

Angel of the Battlefield
     5. What do you think Clara Barton could have 
         taught the thief in The Gold Coin about 
         the importance of charity?  

Homework:
~ AR - you should be about 25% of the way to your 
   AR goal.  If you are not, you will be in during recess 
   to read.  Remember you should be reading 25-30 
   minutes every night.  

~ Finish your Venn diagram and answer question 5 
    from your story.  Make sure both of these are in 
    the purple section of your notebook.
