GRIT students worked hard to write narratives during our writing unit. We celebrated by reading each other's work and providing feedback in their writer's notebooks--and enjoying some mini donuts, too! Great job, GRIT writers!
Finished narratives, with illustrated covers!
Now students are back in their reader's notebooks, learning the value of rereading. What can we learn from rereading a story? What do notice in a second read that we didn't notice before? It's the same as watching a movie again--new details reveal themselves once you understand the whole picture.
Below are examples of some of the work we've been doing in our reader's notebooks.
Looking for different perspectives in Bruno Mars' Grenade song
Exploring different perspectives looking at a text as a whole, and thinking about perspectives within a text
Noticing small details during a reread: what patterns do you notice when you reread that are actually important?
Ask your child what new information they are getting out of the story they are reading a second time.
