Hello Students!
Try the links below to get connected to fun and games with reading. Each one has been chosen for you with a specific purpose in mind. Enjoy :)
This first link brings us to the Flocabulary hit "Five Elements of a Story". Here you will find a fun rap that highlights the five elements that should be in any story. These elements are crucial to know to really help readers get a full grasp on what is happening in the story. Finding the five elements is also a good comprehension check! You will never forget the elements (or the rap) after checking this out!
The Five Elements of a Story
By clicking on this next link, you will be transported to an article all about elephants! This not only ties in with our habitats unit, but also will help us to have a closer look at reading comprehension. Reading comprehension means reading for meaning. We can ask ourselves questions in our minds to help make sure we know what is happening in a story or understand the information that an article is telling us. This is called an inner dialogue. Have an inner dialogue with yourself while reading this article, then take the short quiz on the side! Did your questioning strategies work?
All About Elephants
Our last link for today brings us to a YouTube video of students, your age, participating in a discussion about their guided reading books. We will be doing similar discussion in our weeks to follow. While watching, I would like you to jot down in a chart which aspects of this guided reading discussion you liked and would like to do, and which aspects you do not think worked well. What are some other aspects of novels we could discuss? How do you want to share your understanding with your peers?
