In early October, we are working on the Elements of Fiction. We're especially hitting Common Core standards of identifying and describing characters, settings, and events in a story. Here, students listened to a read-aloud version of Country Mouse and City Mouse. What a great story, since the characters and settings are ripe for descriptions and comparisons!
After reading, students chose which setting to write about-- the city or country. They cited text evidence as to why they liked that setting the best!
Here's the amazing hallway display that a fabulous parent helped me put together. Thanks, Mrs. Shedwick!
PS-- The story was a little challenging, though, because my school is in a suburb! I introduced the WOW word "suburb" and we watched a Brainpop Jr. video to help us identify our place in the world. :)
