TODAY’S LESSON
Double Period
Mini - Lesson 1
(10 minutes):
Using a "Character Bookmark"
to keep track of different characters,
what they look like
and how they behave.
I'm hoping you will learn today
about a good way to keep the characters
of any novel straight in your mind.
How did you keep track of characters last year?
How about in your fun reading books?
What are some techniques you have used?
On your bookmark,
each time something really new about a character is revealed,
write the page number and a brief note about it.
Let's practice it for a few minutes now,
recording the names of the chief characters
and the pages where they were first introduced.
Then, let's practice using the bookmark during silent reading today.
TODAY’S LESSON
Double Period
Mini - Lesson 2
(10 minutes):
5-second page summaries
See if you can do it!
Challenge yourself to make an accurate 5-second summary
of each page in TKAM.
Today I hope you learn
how important and easy it is
to write a good summary of a page in just 5 seconds.
Have you done this sort of thing before --
quick brief summaries of what you've read?
Let's do some 5-second summaries in class.
How did you do?
