Today, Hunter completed a short reading about the 1966 Gemini 8 space expedition, and he answered reading comprehension questions. He still struggles with identifying the main idea of a passage, as he does not properly label sample main idea statements as "main," "too broad," or "too narrow." We will continue reviewing main ideas.
We also began reading his new novel, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. We reviewed chapter 1 together and discussed setting, characters, conflicts, and vocabulary usage. He typed up a Penzu journal entry summary of the chapter, and learned two new vocabulary words: apprehensive and transgression. We will continue reading the novel.
