My Project

Students will read The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto as a class. Part of the story will be read out loud, while the students will take ownership of other parts. Students will also read non-fiction texts about dog sledding and the important role it plays in life for some groups of people. Students will grow their skills with reading and comprehending fictional and nonfictional texts as they work through multiple choice style questions, open ended questions, find ways to reference the text using graphic organizers and have a chance to get creative with showcasing their evidence when responding to comprehension questions.
