This week the sixth grade students choose a Mystery novel. We will present a new project to complete while reading the novel.
The students also reviewed "Reading Strategies" in their Buckle Down workbook. We practiced eight tips for improving comprehension while reading independently: reviewing the selection to make predictions, remind yourself of what you already know about the topic, keep your mind and pencil active, continue to ask questions and make predictions and connections, check your understanding, notice how the selection is organized, use graphic organizers, and summarize the selection.
Students are encourage to take notes on the novel using the strategies practiced in the Buckle Down workbook.
The project will be shared with the students on Tuesday using their Google Drive accounts.
