Sounder, a novel

Track #58211
Format: Resource list
|
After spending many years teaching, the students often see reading as torture in the 6th grade. Sharing successful ideas on how to introduce and enhance students knowledge of literature promotes a lifetime appreciation of books. This unit will allow students to put themselves in the book and to understand others point of view. The 6th grade Terra Nova Reading scores were below 60% on the 1999-2000 test. These students have not actively participated in an Accelerated Reading program and this book is a required reading in the 6th grade according to county policy.

Track #54292
Format: Resource list

The lessons will include introducing new vocabulary and reading to improve vocabulary.The students will retrieve information about the novel Holes. This unit addresses the Tennessee Curriculum Standard which states:The student will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text.
After reading a short passage, students have difficulty recalling details. This book was chosen because it is system-required reading for the sixth grade in literature. The student will develop the reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text. Hopefully, the students will have a deeper understanding and comprehension of what they are reading. Students' exposure to cultural differences will expand their understanding and empathy for others.
