Grade 5, Unit 1, Interpretation Book Clubs: Analyzing Themes

SESSION 3 HOMEWORK
THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN WRITING ABOUT READING
AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO BETTER
Readers, earlier today you set goals for your writing about reading. Specifically,
you thought back over the things youve learned about story elements and set
goals for the elements youd like to pay more attention to while reading. Be sure
to take your goals home with you tonight. As you read, see if you can push
yourself to think and write about some new topics. If youve been thinking a lot
about character, consider shifting to a study of plot in your story, or of the setting.
The To Understand/Interpret a Story... chart you marked up today will help
remind you of the kinds of things that are worth paying close attention to. I cant
wait to see your new entries tomorrow!
