Making Connections Activity

In Grade 5 we are working on making connections.  We read the story "Diary of a Spider" by Doreen Cronin.  We talked about the different events in the story, and interesting connections we could make to the character "Spider."

We then talked about how to write a Reader Response.  We looked at an example of a Reader Response, and we discussed the format of "APE,"  Answer, Proof, Explain.

We also discussed the proper spelling of "bullied."
