Reading Update

O'NEILL & ROST   

Target Learning Goals:  To grow ideas about characters, readers can...

• ... explore how characters treat others to notice patterns in their behavior.
• ... use patterns in characters' behaviors to write (and defend) claims about their personalities.
• ... pay attention to Memory Moments to infer what characters...
• struggle with.
• care about.
• hold close to their hearts.
• depend on.

TLGs in Action:

MEZAN  This week we finished up learning strategies to help us infer ideas about character feelings, move into thinking about character/ personality traits.

Target Learning Goals (TLG):  To grow ideas about characters, readers can...

• ... pay attention to what characters do (their actions) to infer how they feel.
• ... consider time duration to identify character feelings vs. traits.
