This week we are going to use the book: The Polar Express to make predictions and connections. Both are important parts of reading. Making connections will help students better understand the events going on as well as comprehend. Making connections will also make the story more interesting and get them more involved in the events. So before we jump into the story I will read a sentence. We will use both clues from the reading, our background knowledge (what we know about The Polar Express) to make a prediction about what the author is describing. The Polar Express is a great book to really bring a story to life! The words and sentences grab the readers attention! We will also make connections to the story (text to self or text to text). They will learn how to respond to connections based on events that have happened in their own life or based on characters or stories from books they have read. They will write about a time when they were curious like the boy in the story. The adventure of The Polar Express takes them to the North Pole which is so exciting! So they will respond in writing to about a time when they were excited just like the students in the book!
