Really???

Our book of he month for November is Gingerbread for Liberty by Mara Rockcliff. This book reminds students that each and every person is important and has their own important role to play in the world. 

We completed a  REALLY? chart in our class together. As the students listen to the nonfiction texts we stopped and wrote down things that were interesting or surprised them from the reading. We also asked them why they felt that way. In the third column of the chart we went a little further and made a logical inference about what this information suggests. We want our readers to use text evidence in their answer and all their reading! This REALLY?? chart was a lot of fun for our class and we can't wait to use it again!!
