This nine weeks we are reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We will focus on vocabulary this nine weeks, as well. Students will be learning Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes. We will look at how knowing the meaning of these word parts can help us acquire new language and enhance our vocabulary.
This nine weeks will also allow us to re-visit our fiction reading strategies and literary elements. Focus will be on theme, comparing/contrasting, character traits, etc. Students will be analyzing texts for similarities and differences.
Since this particular choice of text (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) is from the fantasy genre, students will be asked to read a fantasy independently. An independent assignment will be explained at a later date.
As always, you will be able to check this blog for updates on independent assignments, as well as updates on events in the classroom. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Happy reading!
Mrs. Tipton
