Today in 1A the students got together with partners to discuss the main character, Dewey, in the book Book Fair Day by Lynn Plourde. As part of our author study, we are learning to infer character traits. The partners had the opportunity to share their observations about the main character's traits as well as specific examples of those traits. Later this week they will work together to create character maps. Working with partners is a great way to build students' abilities to explain their thinking while analyzing texts.
