READING / WRITING
As the plot unfolds in Tuck Everlasting, the students will analyze character traits and feelings this week as they write written responses to comprehension questions and journal prompts. Chapters 20 - 22 will be our reading focus this week. Students will finish section 4 of their Tuck Everlasting packet and begin section 5. In addition, students will continue to work on a plot bookmark for Tuck Everlasting. We will finish reading the novel sometime the week of February 20th. After the reading is completed, the students will have the opportunity to view the Disney version of Tuck Everlasting and compare / contrast the DVD version with the novel. The movie is rated PG. A permission slip with more information will go home later this week.
**The first reading counts book is due this week. Students should be prepared to take the reading counts test for their book on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this week if they haven't already. Please see the Reading Counts post from a few weeks ago for further information.
