As a class we have been working on different components of stories, and communicating our understanding of different stories.
On Seesaw, you will notice recent recordings connected to our My Father's Dragon read aloud. Students have been asked to identify the animal, problem and solution for chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. They are provided with a picture to help support their communication and recall, and are encouraged to revisit other pictures in the book if they are having difficulty remembering details.
