Reading Class

For the week of October 19-23, students finished up the Population Bar Graph, which was an extension of the story, The All-American Slurp. Then we began reading the novel Old Yeller by Fred Gipson. We had a wonderful discussion about stereotyping as a pre-reading activity, due to some of the stereotypes about Indians and women seen in the novel. Finally, we discussed the setting, characters, and key events/conversations of chapters one and two.
