SOS!! Please someone help us!! What is happening in education today?
Anyway...today I had my students focus and think critically about what their characters are saying and doing, as well as looking at how these characters are reacting to problems and events in the story. They are struggling with developing ideas about the characters and how they have gotten those ideas from these elements.
I put together a graphic organizer for them to use to help them in a visual sense. It worked for this lesson! I am hoping that they will gradually be able to do it without the organizer.
PEACE,
Carol
