"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"
Today we started our "Understanding Characters" unit of study in reader's workshop. This is one of my favorite units because we will do a close study on lots of fun characters, including Ramona Quimby, Ivy & Bean, Gooney Bird Greene, and more! To kick off the unit, today we read The Man Who Walked Between the Towers. Check it out on YouTube! This is a true story about Philippe Petit, an aerialist who walked on a tight rope between the Twin Towers in 1974. We developed a list of how Philippe's traits move the sequence of the story, including: ambitious, courageous, sneaky, clever, determined, cautious, brave, adventurous, confident, and free. We were surprised to learn that he was NOT nervous, as we had predicted!
