Getting Connected!

Today we had another Skype date with Mrs. Schnare's class for our Global Read Aloud.  This time we decided to read the chapters before we met and then have discussion questions for small groups to chat about.  We really got up close and personal with each other!  Each group had one or two questions based on one chapter.  Here are the questions we talked about. . . . .
Chapter 5
Why do you think Marty’s mother makes her accept the role of princess in the play?  Do you agree with her decision?
 
Chapter 6
Why do you think Marty seems more open to the idea of being the princess after she talks with her teacher?  If you were in the play, what role would you want?
 
Chapter 7
James Jackson tells Marty “Theatre is magic.”  What do you think he means?
 
Chapter 8
James Jackson uses a theatre activity to teach Marty’s class what it means to improvise.  How would you explain that word to someone who doesn’t know what it means?
 
Chapter 9
Marty says she has the “best idea ever” at the end of Chapter 9.  What do you think that might be?  Make a prediction for what might happen next.


The students did an amazing job chatting with the students in Mrs. Schnare's class.




I wonder what we'll think of next week?  Do you ever chat about a book you have read with other people?
