Blended Curry Soup

Happy Wednesday folks!

We began the day with another creative writing session; I think it's starting to catch on!




We got together in collaborative groups again today, and continued to work on tasks and activities that dealt with chapters 7-9 of Chocolate Fever:

Quickwrite- 

Why do you think that chocolate cake didn’t appeal to Henry?

Discuss why Mac understands a little about how Henry feels.  How is being a different race similar to what Henry is experiencing?


Task 1- Decide on the "best" summary sentence(s) from chapters 4-6 by using ideas from all group
             members (Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text; recount stories 
             and determine the moral or lesson using key details from the text)









Task 2-  Discuss the pros and cons of how Henry handled the bullies in Chapter 7. What strategies 
              are there to Handle bullies? Could he have used those strategies? (Ask and answer questions
              to demonstrate understanding of text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for answers)


Task 3- Draw a picture of Lefty and Louis using evidence from the text (Recount stories 
             and determine the moral or lesson using key details from the text)



And that's Wednesday for ya! Cheers!
