This past week we began Unit 3! Our reader Bedtime Tales from Unit 2 has concluded and now we are moving into a new reader with Unit 3 titled Kids Excel. This book is written as a magazine, with all stories written as articles. However, all characters in Kids Excel are fictional, so we are are reviewing the genre of Realistic Fiction.
One of the stories we had more of an introduction conversation about was The Spelling Bee. Before we read The Spelling Bee, we checked everyones prior knowledge about the even of a spelling bee, by creating a KWL chart:
K: What do you already Know about spelling bees
W: What do you Want to know about spelling bees
L: What did you Learn about spelling bees
Students were very curious about what happens at spelling bees and had many questions they were hoping to get answered. The L (what was learned) was only after one part to a two part story.
Part one: The Spelling Bee
Part two: Then There Were Two
