December Read Aloud

In the beginning of December we will be finishing up our read aloud unit on character change.

We will then start working on a Non-Fiction read aloud that connects with our reading and writing unit for the month of December. Each class will be reading different books depending on the animal they chose to study. (You can refer to the reading and writing unit)

The students will connect what they learned about researching in Endangered Species to this unit. They will understand that when we study something, we do not rely on one source. We collect a variety of mediums, and read them through to get a full understanding of our topic.

As we read, we might look at all of the facts and some questions we may ask ourselves are:
- Do I have a point of view or opinion about this topic?
- What specific facts support this point of view and are they reliable?
- Did I read them in more than one place?
- How will I write and illustrate my book to convey this point of view to my readers?
