Our 4th Graders are reading Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. We're studying the character's motivations and what makes them tick. This is a great novel to read deeply and analyze - while also getting to experience the characters changing and growing.
We're off and running with our first novel, Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech.
We're investigating character changes and theme. We've learned that it's important to be a theme spy as you read a text - always keeping our eyes and ears peeled for ways that a theme may present itself! The main character, Sal, is on a road trip and we've learned bunches about her by the way that she shares her life stories. We'll be starting our next novel, Holes by Louis Sachar, very soon! |
