groups and each share one page from your book and
how you feel about your book. If your favourite book
isnt here just explain why you like it.
During this activity I need you all to be whispering so everyone
can share and hear each other. You have to stay in your table
groups but you can move around the room if it will help you
focus better.
MODEL: Before you go, Ill show you what you will do at your
table groups with your favourite book. Collect 2 kids around
me, the book I want to share is The Fantastic. (page where
he is swinging on the letters) I like this part on the book
because sometimes I go on long adventures in books too
