Homework: 
  • Read & prepare for your Book Talk (see the sign-up calendar in the classroom if you forgot which date you're presenting on!)
  • Kindness Challenge due December 20
  • Vocabulary Choice Responses due December 16

Agenda: 
  • Open your A Christmas Carol packet to the Post Activity Self-Reflection page. Answer each question in at least 3 complete sentences.
  • Vocabulary Choice Board​
    • While reading A Christmas Carol, we may come across unfamiliar words.
    • By practicing using these words, we will better understand the play when we read it!
    • Read the sentences on the Choice Board. (The vocabulary word is bolded.)
    • Then look at the Vocabulary Words Match-up.
    • Use context clues from the sentences to try to match vocabulary words to the correct definitions.
    • Over the course of the unit, you will need to answer 12 of the Vocabulary Choice Board questions.
    • Answer the questions in complete sentences on the response pages.
  • Background Context Jigsaw​
    • Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in London in 1843.
    • Many things have changed since then!
    • We are going to read sections of the text, “Dickens’ London” to better understand the context in which Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol.
    • Use these nonfiction reading strategies as you read your section of the text:
      • ​What surprised you as you read?
      • What did the author of the text already assume you knew?
      • What challenged, changed, or confirmed your thinking?
    • Then, find four important facts to summarize your section of the reading. Write these on your Reading Guide.
    • Form a group with people who read different sections than you!​
      • There should be a 1, 2, and 3 in your group, otherwise you won’t have all the information.
    • In order, share your four-fact summary of the section.
    • Write down the information you learn about the other sections on the Reading Guide.
