Post: Journal Management/The Watsons
Posted by lbOH on 1/03/09
When doing a class book, how do you manage the
notes/journals/activities that coincide during the
reading.I have tried a variety of methods, but still
battle with getting those that are half missing or such a
mess from using it on a daily basis that I have trouble
reading it. If you use a spiral notebook for each student
for either reading or writing, do you have them keep their
work intact in the notebook or tear it out when done? How
do you deal with those students who are absent?
I usually do The Watsons Go to Birmingham as a class book
in January. I love this book and my kids have always
enjoyed it. There are so many things to respond to in it
and I'd like to decide how to approach it this year. Have
any of you ever seen "Four Little Girls" - the Spike Lee
documentary of the Birmingham church bombing in 1963? I've
had trouble locating it to preview and wonder if it's
appropriate for 6th grade. It sounds like it would fit
right in with this book.
