Message
Dear Families, This week we began our Realistic Fiction unit. We have had several complex conversations around our mentor texts using a method called Socratic Seminars. In Socratic Seminars, students engage in a conversation with a small group and are evaluated by a peer on their attention to the conversations, number of contributions and questions, and overall thoughtfulness. I loved listening in! We have such analytic thinkers. Next week, we will continue to analyze several short stories by focusing on various attributes of Realistic Fiction. Cheers, Mrs. Hollman |
Homework
Currently, students only have homework that they are choosing to bring home or were unable to complete in class. |
