This year in Reading we will be working to master close reading strategies, recognizing essential story elements, and using specific text evidence in our writing.
We will be reading the following novels:
The Cay by Theodore Taylor
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
Bull Run by Paul Fleischman
In addition, we will use the end of the week for Poetry Friday, an opportunity to learn about the all aspects of the form and meaning of poems.
