Foreshadowing Practice and Chapter 8

Unit Goal: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.2
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

Today's Goal: Gather evidence with a partner of foreshadowing in Chapter 7. FINISH Chapter EIGHT. Continue working on looking for moments that relate to the topics we are investigating while we read.

Question to think about as we continue this book:

How do each of the characters in Homeless Bird find happiness? Many characters work towards happiness in different ways. How are they similar or different? Can you relate to any of their ways of finding happiness?

The Plan:

1. Read (independent)
2. Foreshadowing
3. Concepts that might help you for chapter 8 and 9
4. Finish Chapter 8 - have sticky notes on hand

Foreshadowing:

On Wednesday we discussed foreshadowing. If you don't remember, there's a clue in a picture on Wednesday's blog post if you scroll down. 

With a partner, you will use Flipgrid to film a short video (max 2 minutes). 

Find Flipgrid on Google Classroom.

With a partner, find two different "clues" in the chapter and explain why those clues are foreshadowing this event. (This means you need to find QUOTES in the story as proof/evidence of the clue and READ the quotes out loud before sharing why they are examples of foreshadowing.) Make sure you tell your viewer the page #s.

Reading Actively:

You are expected to place at least two stickies for every chapter.
Do not put a sticky on the page unless you label it:
*Home/Family
*Perseverance
*Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
*Gender

*happiness and well-being
*something else super important that you don't want to forget?

Reminders/Homework:

• No Achieve
• The grading period ends TODAY. 
• This means you need to clear your zeros and improve scores on things like your personal narrative.
• I'm leaving at noon. You need to get me any physical work before then.
• Make Up Your Radio Recording. We spent two days in class on that and you need to make it happen. (Click on that link to go to the directions)
• Turn in your One-Pager ASAP (because you don't want a zero)
