Hunter and I read aloud today "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson in class. Afterwards, Hunter wrote an alternate ending. He did a great job at writing, getting a lot accomplished. We discussed grammar, foreshadowing, sentence structure, name choice and new vocabulary we encountered along the way. We also discussed comprehension questions. We planned our strategy for "The Book Thief" in an effort to get through it together next week. He will have guiding questions with him while reading to be certain he is comprehending what he is reading at home.
