Learning Goal
I am learning to
Identify the elements of a variety of texts
Use evidence to support my ideas;
Apply reading strategies so we can make meaning from a text;
Read different forms of texts.

We will start with our reading routines. 

Then I will share some feedback with you on yesterday’s theme lesson and we will practice one more time using the topic of “car and relationships”.

1. Identify a topic that the story discussed;
2. Frame your theme statement using the phrase “The author believes that…” to explain what the author is saying about your topic;
3. Remove “The author believes that” and you have a theme statement;
4. Ensure that the theme statement is generalized;
5. Find evidence in the text that supports your statement;
6. Pass your theme statement page to the person next to you;
7. Add one piece of different evidence;
8. Repeat the process until 3 other people have contributed to your theme page.

Then, we will write about our reading: “Powder”
