Today you are going to begin your very first literature unit in fourth grade, a study of the children’s books of E. B. White. You can read an overview of the assignment here. To begin I will be giving each of you a copy of Charlotte’s Web to read and, eventually, to annotate. “What is annotating?” you ask. Well, you will find out soon enough! Trust me, it is fun!
Together we will plan out how you will read the book. Most of it will be at home (part of your nightly 30 minutes of reading), but some might be during Lab in school. Some of you may read it very quickly and some of you may want to take your time with it. Both ways are just fine! Together we will decide when everyone should be done. And then we will begin the annotating!
