COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS

This Friday 6th graders visited the IMC to select a book for their next book report. The current classroom unit is about courageous characters so our book talk began with a discussion of characteristics. After discussing with their tablemates, each group offered a characteristic to the class. Some of the descriptive words suggested were: adventurous, heroic, brave, determined, cunning, reckless, bold, confident, and selfless. Then each table was given a book I had selected and challenged to see if they could figured why this book was about courage. With a little help and coaching, students did a fine job of presenting their classmates with possible book report suggestions.
