the Misers

The first two weeks of school, our focus skill (reading strategy) was on Character Traits and Motivations. Students finished our learning by "falling into" their own character traits.

Starting this week, we are studying and practicing Comparing and Contrasting. We kicked off our unit today. We read about the strategy in our text book on pages 80 and 81. Then we watched a video clip of the Misers.

Together, we filled our a Venn Diagram, going over the Venn Diagram "rules" or expectations ...
* you need a title for each part (today was: "Snow Miser", "Both", "Heat Miser")
* you need to fill in at least 3 examples for each part
* avoid using the word "not"; what ARE they?
* you should write more than one word, write in phrases

We will be doing a LOT of comparing and contrasting in fourth grade! Let the learning begin!!
