October 24th

We reviewed the Pyramid of Action and discussed the 5 components of plot (exposition, rising actions, climax, falling actions, resolution) using the story “Little Red Riding Hood” with a partner and check our answers as a class. We also used pre-reading strategies with our Newsela Article of the Week. We labeled text features and used them to make predictions on what the article will be about. We also visited the library to check out new books!
