We are really enjoying reading about villages in Northern Alaska and what their daily life is like. We are continuing to focus on Main Idea and Details to help us determine the Theme or Central Message of the text.
This week we will be paying close attention to our characters. We will be looking at their actions and what they say to help us determine the theme of the text.
We will be comparing our texts "The Moon Seems to Change", "Treasure in the Trees", and "About Earth." Students will take their Unit 1 assessment on Thursday and we will begin "The Athabascans: Old Ways and New Ways" on Friday looking at main idea and details. We are continuing to read About Earth. We are using the text features to help us locate and understand the main idea. We are also supporting the main idea with details from the text.
