First watch my video and respond on Flipgrid. Then take some time to collect more details, evidence, quotes, and ideas from your text in your reader's notebook. The pictures above are some examples of how you might do this as you read or go back and reread. You can also use my example and see others' videos in Flipgrid.
Finally, when you have plenty of notes jotted, start to organize or rethink the ideas you collected. What theory can you start to develop? Maybe you come up with a reason the character is acting in a certain way or a theory about a possible theme. Maybe you start to notice a pattern that helps you to better understand one element of the story (character, conflict, setting, symbols, theme, etc.). When you develop a theory using the details you've collected, post it here along with your reasoning for support.

This week, take time to share one of your favorite books with the class. Give us the title, author, and a quick review that piques our interest, but doesn't give too much away! It would also help if you explained what type of readers would enjoy the book. Then reply to one of your classmates' posts. (You can even respond to a classmate on a different blog entry). You could even post a book talk about your independent reading book, even if it's not one of your favorites. Hopefully this will give you a list of possible books to read!
Hi all!
Use the link below to view a video from me! Then respond by recording your own. If you have questions, let me know in the comment section on this page. Hope to see your faces soon! https://flipgrid.com/241aa4e5 Watch the news, read an article, or comment about a story you've heard where someone is using an epic hero-type quality. While we may not have super powers, there are people out there taking extraordinary actions. Describe a person who has stood out in this unprecedented time as a hero. What have they done that is similar to an epic hero?
