  1. Hey, ladies, I wanted to take a moment and just
  2. refresh our memories of your upcoming unit on interpretation book
  3. clubs. We unpacked this last year, so I just wanted
  4. to give us a bit of a reminder of what
  5. this unit was all about.
  6. So remember, the main focus of this unit is on
  7. theme analyzing and interpreting themes.
  8. You're gonna be working to identify multiple themes in one
  9. text and then also comparing themes across multiple texts.
  10. Students will also be working to read more analytically, looking
  11. at interpretation of texts and themes, thinking about their responses
  12. to reading, using evidence to support their ideas and then
  13. also making note of authors choices in the craft techniques
  14. that they use.
  15. Lastly, you're going to continue working to develop those independent
  16. readers and so really focusing on boosting that intellectual growth
  17. to build that complexity and support them as they move
  18. up those bands.
  19. For this particular unit, it's gonna be narrative progressions.
  20. You're gonna be looking at fiction texts.
  21. One of the main progressions you'll be taking a look
  22. at is developing themes, but you will be looking at
  23. other areas of those progressions as well.
  24. You read aloud for this unit is home of the
  25. brave. It is written in prose, so you may want
  26. to do some practicing ahead of time just to make
  27. sure you got the rhythm down and then assessments I
  28. know always are a challenge, especially with the time constraints
  29. we have.
  30. But use those pre imposed assessments to help you with
  31. your grouping.
  32. Any informal running records you could get done.
  33. Observations, conversations and discussions that you hear with book clubs,
  34. written responses and monitoring those reading logs.
  35. I will work to develop a pacing calendar for you.
  36. Your next cpt is not until January, and I know
  37. that seems pretty far away.
  38. This unit is a little longer, so you'll probably be
  39. about into bend to by that point s so we
  40. can certainly work to adjust your pacing calendar at that
  41. time. You need anything, you know where to find me.
