As I stated, for this week you should ideally have read 3/4 of your book by your conference. For next week, you should ideally have read and PINned your whole book by your conference.

We would rather you have a better book conversation with the book unfinished than a finished book that we can't talk about.

Today's Goal: Review of Plot, Setting, and Mood to Note While Reading
Good Morning, Epic Ones!
Today we will start reviewing elements of fiction in order to remind ourselves to be aware of them as we read and PIN (Post-It Note). Along with taking signpost notes (or PINs) on your shared Google Docs, you want to keep an eye out for literary elements. It would be a good idea to take Google Doc notes about literary elements too.
You have a plot and setting review sheet linked below as a reminder. I know that you are fabulous at identifying plot points, but maybe some of us might need a reminder about types of conflict, or that setting includes the time period, for example. If you can, take a look at the definitions of plot and setting on the linked sheet to remind yourself before we Google Meet. Be ready with any questions. Once we log onto our Google Hangout, we will watch a short Brainpop video about plot and address any further plot questions. Then we will watch an even shorter Scholastic video about mood (which falls under setting).
No Attendance Question Today - Feel free to leave a fun and positive note! Mrs. Chen will be in Google Meet if you have any questions, but the people you need to meet with today are those in your new book club!

Along with taking signpost notes (or PINs) on your shared Google Docs, you want to keep an eye out for literary elements. It would be a good idea to take Google Doc notes about literary elements too.
You have a plot and setting review sheet linked below as a reminder. I know that you are fabulous at identifying plot points, but maybe some of us might need a reminder about types of conflict, or that setting includes the time period, for example. If you can, take a look at the definitions of plot and setting on the linked sheet to remind yourself before we Google Meet. Be ready with any questions. Once we log onto our Google Hangout, we will watch a short Brainpop video about plot and address any further plot questions. Then we will watch an even shorter Scholastic video about mood (which falls under setting).

Today's Goal: Book Club Beginnings!
Hello Epic Readers!
Today we will get into our Reading Clubs more! Now that you have your books chosen and groups confirmed, You will spend some time communicating with your group members on the following tasks:
1. Set reading goals--both for yourself and your group, using the Reading Goals Chart in the Classwork tab. Think about some of the lessons we had with our nonfiction groups and see what might apply. For example, do you want to look up five new vocabulary words every week, or try to define words you don’t know through reading the context? Do you want finally to be able to identify static vs. dynamic characters? Do you struggle with identifying the theme and stating it in a full sentence? Or do you simply have a hard time reading a book without falling asleep? What’s your goal--what would you as a reader, and as a reading group, like to work towards improving as you read over the next month?
2. Take a few minutes with your group to break down your books into 4 chunks and make sure your partners know where they should have read up to by the following week’s conference. Use the Reading Chunks Chart in the Classwork tab to do this.(Conference Forms will be posted tomorrow morning. Each group should sign up for a 10 minute slot, to be held once a week until we finish Epic Reading Clubs.)
3. Start reading!
4. Remember your 10 minutes of Membean today! (20 by Tuesday)

Today's Goal: "Hoot" Finale
Here are some of the questions we would like to discuss in today’s Google Hangout:
1. Through much of the book, Roy feels like an outsider. What finally makes him feel that he belongs in Florida?
2. Do you think other characters feel like outcasts? Which ones? Why would they feel like this?
3. Mullet Fingers shows Roy a great spot to get away and relax away from the stress of school and family. Do you have a place like this? Describe your place, or how you would like your place to be.
4. Mullet Fingers earned his nickname from his ability to catch a mullet fish with his bare hands. Think of a special talent you have. What nickname could you give yourself based on this talent?
5. If you could write yourself into this book, where/how would you fit in?
6. At the end of the novel, Roy begins to feel more at home in Florida. Why do you think this is? What makes you feel at home somewhere?
7. "Hoot" has been made into a movie. How do you think a movie would enhance this story? How might it hurt this story?
Please log onto our Google Hangout by clicking on the link below. After you have logged on, I will ask you to journal-write for a few minutes about one of the above questions, in anticipation of sharing your answers during the discussion.

Today's Goal: "This I Believe" Writing & Book "Shopping" for Book Clubs
Hello, Sensational Sixth Graders!
Now that we are finishing our essays, we are charging ahead with reading. So for today, along with
1.) completing the essay (due at 3:15pm today) and
2.) practicing at least 10 minutes of Membean, we are
3.) asking you to spend some time “Book Shopping.”
For the next month, sixth graders will get to choose a book from GETEPIC.com. Many of your activities will be designed to get you to “talk” about books! Now that you've all taken part in book clubs, you’ve had the experience of sharing a great book with a friend, and finding out that it comes alive in new ways and it helps us get more out of our reading!
Log into www.getepic.com, and using your
school email addresses, as well as our class code (avh9274) for Epic, log into our class’s Epic Classroom.
We made a “getting acquainted” checklist of questions to help you with your book dating.
Book "shopping" is the same as getting to know your book. This list reminds you of what to do. You should take your time when you choose it. If you choose right, you will love every minute of your journey and look forward to reading every day!
Please complete this checklist as you review books. You can find your own copy of this handout on the Classwork tab where you can take some notes as you’re browsing.
Your task today is to fill in the "Chen Reading Workshop Book Selection Sign Up" Form. You should choose at least 3 books that interest you and fill this in before we meet tomorrow. Next, your teachers will let you know who you are working with and which book you’ll be reading.
**Optional enrichment: we created a Flipgrid board on which you can read your This I Believe essay aloud. This is a fun way to see each other and share your hard work!
