Writing Unit - Fractured Fairytales

Our latest writing unit on Fractured Fairytales is tons of fun! Students are already familiar with the fairytales (Snow White and Cinderella), however, they are quite unfamiliar with many of the vocabulary words. We got right to work! Students are working on rewriting the Cinderella story, and while going over the original, they act out the sciences to show understanding. I will continue to add clips to the progress right here.

Reading Club

Reading Club is a time for students to read with a partner and answer three to four comprehension questions collaboratively. At the end of the Reading Club, one group shares their responses with the whole class and the others ask a couple of meaningful questions. This is a way for students to get a glimpse of what other books are about.
