NEW HOMEWORK:
This week, I will be sending home a reading response for THRoW. I have been modelling in class the proper way to answer these types of questions;
HOW TO ACHIEVE A LEVEL 4 IN A
READING RESPONSE:
1. Begin by starting your answer using part of the question. Ex. What character trait do you think best describes the main character of the story?
"The character trait that I feel best describes the main character is ..."
2. Include SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the story to support your answer. This is key in grade 3. Students need to refer to a specific part of the story, state where it is in the story and include it as support for their answer in their response.
Ex. "The character trait that best describes the main character is courageous. I think this because in paragraph 4 it says 'despite shaking in his boots and wanting to run away, Marvin took a deep breath and faced his fears.' This tells me that he had a great deal of courageous to do something that he frightened him so much.
3. Edit an revise to make sure your answer makes sense. Use editing checklists at the back of the THRoW duo tang.
I won't overwhelm you all, so that's all for now. Can't wait to begin the second half of our journey in gr. 3 in CAMP WILSON!
