This House of Paolini is well on its way to completing our Eragon book. Students are reading 6 chapters per week, minimum. Students have asked to read ahead, so we've put in place an interactive journal where they will do a 1-2 sentence summary of the chapter and list any exceptional things that happened. This will enable them to remember what happened when they are discussing or answering questions on prior chapters. They also have a vocabulary sheet to do as they are reading. They will "read around" the word to try to discern its meaning. Students have been doing blog comments to questions from our blog. Go to https://bceseragon.edublogs.org to view the blog and comments.
Today and tomorrow students in Paolini will be doing a Socratic Circle. Using this strategy, students will learn how to have civil discussion of questions about the text and express opinions without hurting feelings. We had a good start today, and hope to expand on that tomorrow.
