Heroic Voices: November 6, 2019

Focus: What the? What are we learning about Oskar, our unusual narrator?

1. Warming up with Grammar You Must Know #2: Pronouns

2. Listening to 9-11 stories and discussing them in small groups; connecting back to the book

3. Setting up your Fishbowl discussions (links to all of today's handouts are on the website) and your journal for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

4. Reading the first pages of EL&IC together and starting our first journal entry
  • Step 1: Jot down lines that make you pause / take a moment.
  • Step 2: Scribble down as many Level 1, 2, and 3 questions as you can think of. 
  • Step 3: Offer some interesting things you're noticing, like craft moves and patterns.
  • Note: If you'd like to listen to someone read the book aloud, click HERE for the audiobook. You can do a free 30-day trial, but I believe you do need a credit card number.

If you're interested, here is a quick timeline of what actually happened on 9/11.
