During reading workshop we have been working on a new learning target: BIG IDEAS. We are teaching students to figure out what the author’s message is in a story. Students are learning that the big idea is not a detail, but a more general theme that the author is trying to communicate. Some of the books we have read are Oliver Button is a Sissy, Weslandia, Old Henry, and Miss Rumphius.
