This week marked the beginning of the third session of ALO. The students previewed and started reading My Father's Dragon. We worked on:
-using context clues to find the meaning of unknown words. -explaining the importance of characters and events. -describing the characters and setting. NEW vocabulary words that we came across included: obliged and inhabited. Students should read chapter 2 by next class (during their independent reading time at school) and answer a question about a vocabulary word. Some other stories related to My Father's Dragon include: Cross-Country Cat, Calhoun The Dragons are Singing Tonight, Prelutsky The Dragon that Ate Summer, Seabrooke Dragon's Egg, Thomson Other books in the My Father's Dragon series include: Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. Katie and the Sad Noise and The Wonderful House-Boat Train are books that may be used to enrich text-comparisons.
