    LANGUAGE ARTS

    DURING READING ACTIVITY -


    6.3.2 Analyze how a character’s qualities impact the plot’s resolution of conflict.

    Literature Circles
    Literature circles provide an avenue for students to engage in critical thinking and
    reflection as they read and discuss the assigned text. Discussion is guided by reactions to
    the text of the students. Students learn to take responsibility for their own learning as they
    break into groups and provide feedback to any particular part of the book they had
    connected to. Students share personal feedback with group other members – who then
    mesh their knowledge and create new understandings and meanings.

    Literature Response Journal


    Students will write in a journal their feelings, reflections, and feedback about assigned
    readings.

    Character Journal
    Imagine you are Tomi’s father who has been captured and jailed by American soliders.
    Write a personal journal about what you are experiencing the internment camp. Write
    about your experiences including: what you see, what you are doing, how you are being
    treated, what you are thinking of, etc.
    * Create it so it would look like a notebook/journal from that time. (Crumple & stain
    paper, artistic, etc.)

    Graffiti Board
    After reading some chapters, students will reflect and extract examples of Japanese
    culture exhibited by Tomi’s family. Using these examples, each student will illustrate
    their understanding of this culture on each corner of a piece of butcher paper. Students
    will then share their corner with their group and with the entire class.
