Organizing Reading Groups 9.16

















Find the full album on Picasa Web.

Based upon on our upcoming theme, Culture Matters, students have been assigned to one of four literature books, each an award-winner, and each multi-cultural in setting and theme: The Singe Shard, by Linda Sue Park (set in Korea); The Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson, by Bette Bao Lord (set in China); The Master Puppeteer, by Katherine Paterson (set in Japan); and Dragonwings, by Laurence Yep (set in China).

On Friday, students met in their new reading groups and were asked to select a team leader, a team recorder, then choose a team name, create a team banner, and design a team song or cheer.
