English language arts (ELA)
This week in ELA: We read The Name Jar, a children's picturebook centering around a Korean girl who immigrates to the United States with her family and tries to find a new name for herself. After reading it aloud together, students filled out a "Mapping the Story" worksheet where they filled in information about the book (characters, setting, problem, solution). This helped them reflect and demonstrate their understanding of the book. We then discussed what students came up with, as a class.
