What The? Oskar's Voice: November 7, 2019

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

1. Warming up with a small, notecard-sized recap of tomorrow's one-minute speeches

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

3. 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.
