What a great morning with our book club kiddos! We started by discussing the chapters we read since our last meeting. Next, we used the "tug-of-war" strategy to collect pros and cons of Roz staying on the farm. This strategy helps us to see both sides of the argument (sometimes our brains only see one side!). Next, we predicted how Roz would feel if she returned to the island. We shared how she would also have positive and negative feelings....can she somehow be a part of the Shareef family AND the island with Brightbill???
Next, we discussed character traits for Roz and found text evidence to support our answers (adaptive, caring, brave, hard-working, unique, helpful, knowledgeable, inquiring). We used these traits to create a sales brochure for Roz. We imagined what type of advertisement Mr. Shareef may have seen to persuade him to purchase Roz. We have such a creative and artistic bunch!!
Please see below for our next reading assignment which we will discuss on Thursday, July 26th. Happy Reading!
