Readers and Writer's Workshop
Reading
We are currently reading nonfiction and fiction texts. Our first unit will focus on story structure, author's purpose, author's viewpoint, making inferences, and understanding characters. We will read some excerpts from Because of Winn Dixie,
My Brother, Martin, When Tia Lola Came to Stay, and many other great stories.
In our guided groups we will focus on using close read strategies to understand complex text. We will learn how to write constructed (short) responses using a four square organizer.
Writer's Workshop will be busy, as well. We will learn why writers write and begin our first piece, a personal narrative (story about an event that has happened in our own lives).
