The Stories Julian Tells Week 1

1/8/2016

This week, the students were introduced to the realistic fiction book, The Stories Julian Tells by Ann Cameron. We practiced pre-reading steps such as reading and analyzing the blurb and thinking about the genre. We read the first story in the book and discussed the feelings, motivation, traits, and actions of specific characters. At home, have your your child discuss these important features of characters in books they are reading or that you are reading together.  

Examples of questions include:
  • What emotions did they show? How can you tell?
  • How would you describe the character? (Try inside descriptions and outside descriptions).
  • Why do they do the things they do? How do you know?
  • Does the character cause the problem? Solve the problem?
