Back to School, Mallory!

Mallory Changes!

Our students loved getting to read the novel, "Back to School, Mallory" by Laurie B. Friedman.  While reading the novel, we focused on character traits, feelings, and the changes that characters undergo throughout the story. 

Students worked in cooperative groups to create a prewriting foldable. The foldable compared and contrasted the character traits and emotions that could be found at the beginning of the book and the character traits and emotions from the end of the book.  Students also had to provide events from the novel to use as text evidence. 

 

Students were able to use their prewriting foldable on their written responses where they told me about how Mallory changes over the course of the novel.  

This novel is one from the "Mallory" series.  There are many other "Mallory" books to enjoy that would be great for our RR goals!
