Today we started Global Read Aloud The BFG. I know that several students have read it before and seen the movie, but now we are going to talk and write with our friends from New Jersey. Today's prompt was:
Week 1: Week of October 3
Read The Witching Hour through The Cave
Students are welcome to finish at home or next class period.
In writing workshop we learned about endings. Good endings get back to the meaning of the story and wrap up. We used E.B. White's ending the Charlotte's Web as a model:
“Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.”
― E.B. White, Charlotte's WebTry to wrap up with a lesson or something you realized.
