Passage Picker
Your job is to pick parts of the story that you want to read aloud in your group. You will need to pick four passages to read aloud within your group. Reasons for picking these passages can be descriptive, informative, figurative language, entertaining, funny/amusing, foreshadowing, or scary. Make sure to include what page you can find the passage and what paragraph or lines it may be!
* A great passage to pick would be on page 240 describing the
Ingalls getting ready to go into town.
* On page 252 the passage describing the tree at the church would be
good to share with the group.

Words that you could look for may be compound, hard, strange, describing, funny, and or important. Make sure to include what page and paragraph you found the word. Here are two words to choose from, you choose one and then pick three of your own.

Character Sketcher
Your job is to find an interesting character from
the chapters you have read. For this lesson you can choose whoever you
would like to do a character sketch of. Make sure to find three words
that describe your character and you will need to give proof or an example.
Make
sure to put what page and in what paragraph you found the proof. You
will also need to tell one goal of the character, a problem and the solution
for the character. When you are done, illustrate your character!!
Connector
Your job is to connect the story
with something that has happened in your life. You will need to write it
down and share with your group. You will also need to get your group sharing
about things that they can connect with the story. Think about when Laura
was told to give her doll to Anna because she was to old to play with dolls.
Can you think of a time when you were asked to give away something special
to a sibling, friend, or relative that was yours?
