Keep up the great story writing writers. We will make time each week for students to read aloud, or share with a partner, there best story from the week.
Today we finished chapter 12 of the BFG and talked about theme. Some of the themes we pulled out were:
It is good to do good in the world.
Eating (or killing) people is wrong.
Two very unlike people can become friends.
Don't judge a being until you fully know them.
A theme can be found by thinking hard "What the author wants the reader to believe is....." Then if you take off What the author wants the reader to believe is....you often will have a theme. Just make sure it is "universal" and can apply to other books as well.
Once we had our theme and at least one piece of evidence from the story, we posted on seesaw.com. We also had a chance to reply to some other prompt pictures on Seesaw that Ms. Lamb had posted earlier.
In the afternoon we had library. Remember to keep reading - especially Roald Dahl books and books that are similar.
Tonight's homework:
Writing prompt - write a story or entry that has magic in it
Read your novel - read as much as you can this weekend
No math
Have a great long weekend.
