I enjoyed this chapter and found some thing that I would really like to try in my class. A lot of the activities seemed to be geared towards the younger grade levels. When I taught Kindergarten I did the cut up sentences. They kids loved this. How could I change it to adapt to 6th grade students? The other thing I really like about this chapter was she should an example of how she dialogues. It was nice to see how she would lead the students, something I didn't think we were suppose to do.
These are some activities I would really like to try in my class.
* Holes activity, would be grade appropriate in any of our novels we read as a class. pg.87
*To start a story as a class and then have them finish it in partners. pg. 89
*Cloze exercise
I have always seemed to try and make things harder than what she did. She showed how easy and quick it really can be. That is what I want quick, easy, & fun.
