The second nine weeks the students are using the choices on their "Bingo Genre" page in their reading folder to write their responses.
Also, I am encouraging my students to check out 5 booklets at a time to attain a sticker on their 25 book chart. They are to answer the first 3 questions at the end of each booklet. Please note the booklets correlate with our curriculum in reading, social studies and science; therefore, will enhance their reading strategies that they are tested on during the year and on the FCAT.
*Please refer to the Story Map below:
Their response should look like this:
-------------------------------------
Name
Date
Literature Response
Title:
Author:
Genre:
Pages read:
Level:
Story Map Response:
Setting (Introduction:)
Characters (Who?)
Location (Where?)
Time/season/era, etc. (When?)
Problem/Conflict/Challenge (Purpose of the story)
Events (Plot) Include at least 5 events important to keep the story moving along
____
____
____
____
____
Resolution (How does the story end?
--------------------------------------
Please note: Students are encouraged to use this format at home to do responses since the majority of their reading will be at home. Have your child write a response on notebook paper, you initial the top, and then return to school. Your child will put the response in sequential order in his/her reading folder and get credit for the reading.
Every 60 pages earns a sticker on the "25 Book" Chart. SSS's goal is for 5th graders in Florida to read a million words at their level. Please encourage your child to read at home.
In the event, your child reads a nonfiction book, he/she may follow the above format except the plot (events) will be different. For nonfiction, he/she should write 15 important new facts learned from reading the book. They must be in good sentences and detailed.
