My apologies for not having posted in the past couple of weeks while we finished up our persuasive paragraph writing unit. My goal is to post once a week in order to keep you all in the loop, but somehow I fell short on that recently!
We have begun a new unit based on the reading comprehension strategy of questioning. When readers learn to question while reading, they are learning that asking questions can lead them to a greater understanding of the text, while being encouraged to be curious readers. Readers will learn that not all questions have answers, and often these unanswered questions will help them to get at the heart of the story and to analyze deeper than those that can be answered. We call these "deep thinking" or "thick" questions in class.
