This week we read "The Boy with a Thousand Faces" by Brian Selznik, considered to be speculative fiction. It was quick and the students were very engaged. (40 pages) Today we began our book report and I chose for them to do a Book Timeline. We created a timeline of events from the story as a class; very vague events because I wanted each group to go back and create three details for each event. My class has 26 students so I created 5 groups. Each group designated jobs (organizer, illustrator, writer). The picture below shows one student as he completes his work as the writer. I had a blast watching them coordinate, work things out and distribute ideas. I'm going to redo a couple groups but, other than that, this was a very success group work day!
