We had a fantastic surprise this week! (Students above are showing their surprised face!) One of our very own students was the author and illustrator of their own book. The book was titled “The Lonely Pirate”. The student helped Mrs. Kressin read the story to the class. The Meta cognitive strategy we were working on that day was “Asking questions”. The questions could be direct and easily answered by looking in the text or they could be questions you have think or search to find the answer. The Lonely Pirate was a great book. The students had so many questions as we followed the main character, the lonely pirate. The beginning of the book began with a lonely pirate all alone on a ship. In the middle of the book, the pirate crashed into an island. On this island there were more pirates. At the end of the book, the pirates on the island became the lonely pirate’s friend and he was no longer lonely. J The students were so interested in the book; they came up with the most outstanding questions before reading the book, during the reading and after the reading!
After Reading:"I wonder if he is going to have fun with his new pirate friends?"
During Reading: "I wonder if he is going to make new friends on the island?"
After Reading: "I wonder if there is going to be a Lonely Pirate Part 2?"
Before Reading: "Did his crew get eaten by sharks?"
During Reading: "I wonder if they will all go hunting?"
