Reading

We continue to work on story elements this week! Students are working to identify the elements that make up a story: setting, characters, problem, and solution. They are also paying close attention to these various elements to see when and how they change and how that affects the story. This unit really focuses on the comprehension of texts so we are doing many activities as a group, in partners and on their own to think about the events in the story on a deeper level. We have started reading notebooks where students are doing some story mapping and responding to questions about a text. Later this week we will dive deeper into character analysis and discovering character traits and comparing different characters.
