HOMELESS BIRD (Ch. 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: Read Chapter EIGHT. Continue working on looking for moments that relate to the topics we are investigating while we read.

The Plan:

1. Yesterday we talked about symbols. Fill out this form to tell me what you remember. Then read.
2. Read (independent)
3. Concepts that might help you for chapter 8 and 9
4. Finish Chapter 7 and read Chapter 8 - have sticky notes on hand

Question to think about today:

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?
