Battle of the Books — June Reading Fun!
Hello Everyone!
During our reading of The Skeleton Tree we have been talking about taking time to read carefully, taking notes on key vocabulary and ideas using our readminders, and also how to ask deeper questions using the QAR model. We will continue to develop our comprehension as we do a fun, end-of-year reading activity. This is a great way to use silent reading time! We will also be bringing towels/blankets and reading outside on some days.
Here’s how it works!
- Form a team of 6 people
- Decide amongst yourselves who will read which books from the list provided
- For each book you read, create 20 questions. Each question starts with “In which book did…..” or “In which book would you find….” or “In which book does the main character…..”
- Turn in the questions and Ms. D will be using some of these for the competition!
- Ms. D will ask questions, and your team will have to guess which book they came from!
- Make sure your team reads all the books. That doesn’t mean YOU read all the books. It means the team reads the books. So “divide and conquer” and help one another out!
