Last week we read “There Were Two” focusing on the elements of a story. (Character, Setting, Conflict, and Resolution). We will continue to focus on those elements as we continue to explore fiction stories.

This week we will focus on identifying the theme of “There Were Two” as well as other stories as students learn to follow the characters changes within the story which usually leads to identifying the theme.

Also, we are focusing on summarizing using the 5 W’s and 1 H Summarizing strategy and applying it to a variety of stories.

Students need to bring their library books as we will be reading in class to build their stamina in reading.
