I sure hope everyone had a great holiday season! Mine was fantastic! I am clearly still adjusting back into my regular routine!
My reading group was working through detective stories just prior to the break and really enjoyed them. While reading these stories, we were specifically working on story mapping skills - characterization; setting; plot; beginning/middle/end; and even making text-to-self connections. My students were really impressing me! So, I created a mini unit of my own for Nate the Great.
After completing book talks on the various Nate the Great books, each student chose their own story to work through. Once they have completely dissected their stories, they will be presenting their book to the group. They are very excited to present their information to the group. We have had very private work sessions as not to "ruin it" for the others. Haha! My students crack me up!
Here is a link to my unit, which is compatible with any Nate the Great story. I hope you enjoy!
