2. Reading from the class novel: Regarding the Fountain -- through page 75
Ooooo -- Mr. Wright, we saw some logical fallacies used by a certain disreputable character in the book, including the slippery slope!
3. Summarizing --
We began learning to use the SWBS strategy to summarize fiction (made-up stories).
Somebody wanted. . . . . . . but. . . . . . so. . . . . .
Students listened to the story of the Three Little Pigs, and looked at an SWBS for it.
Students read a brief story called "Seeing is Believing" and filled in an SWBS for it -- in small groups and as a class.
Next time we will do another SWBS for a longer story.
Next time, let's see if we can apply this strategy to nonfiction, too!
We may also have time to practice a summarizing strategy for nonfiction -- identifying repeated words!
If you were absent, ask Ms. Dorsey for the SWBS materials, and for the make-up sheet for reading time!
