Starting A Long Walk to Water

Today's Goal: Make predictions about our in-class text. Communicate your predictions clearly in writing and speaking.

Agenda:

1. Get out your book and read!
2. A "Tea Party Mixer"
3. Make predictions about our first novel: A Long Walk to Water
   (Use the framework below to write your prediction on Google Classroom)
4. With a partner (or two. you choose), create a FlipGrid Video in which you share your predictions and explain how your predictions are similar or different from your partner's prediction.
5. If time, read the first chapter of "A Long Walk to Water."

Writing your prediction (Here are some sentence stems to use):

• After hearing and talking about these quotes, I think that A Long Walk to Water is a story about ________.
• I believe this because in the quotes I heard, ____________
• The quote that said _______ made me think that _________

Reminders/Homework:

• If you didn't get a chance to make your prediction video in class, do that! Then go respond to someone else's video and share what was similar or different from yours.
• You have a choice Achieve Article due by Tuesday at midnight, and one that I have assigned due by Friday at midnight. The one I have assigned is called "What was 9/11?" It has been emailed to you. You do NOT have to do the thought question this week, but you will have to do the thought question for the next two Achieve weeks (just a warning).
