This is where I have my devotional time before I begin the day:
And this is where I grade papers, pay bills, and plan lessons for my students:
This is the book my 8th graders were assigned for summer reading:

This is the test they had to take on Friday, August 7:
And these are some of the answers I received for question #7….
7. Theme: Think of a lesson or moral this story could teach. Give an example from the story of how your theme“fits”.
I love making them THINK rather than just regurgitating answers….especially on books they read:)....
Have a Lovely Day!

Good for you for having students read books and then think about them. I wish I had older students and more advanced; I try to have them discuss their little texts to some extent.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your school year!
Thx for sharing! Feel like I know you a bit better now that I've seen where you spend much of your time (classroom & parts of your home :)
ReplyDeleteReading this I think I'll have Strike (7th gr) read this book & see what she answers to your question :)
Looks like you have some great thinkers....
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteYes, MyStory, I do believe Strike would enjoy this book. It appealed to the boys AND the girls in my class...infact, the girls were surprised that they enjoyed it since it was , as they put it, a "war" book!....My students also had to write character sketches of the main character and three others of their choice...The book was written in 1956 which I like....Older books many times teach better values:)
Yes, Lupines....I do have some "thinkers"...much like you :)
Yiota, keep discussing what your little ones read with them...it helps them to formulate their thoughts and to think of reading as a good thing:)
