EXPLORATION: Around the World Weeks 1 & 2
This summer, in Scholar Zone Summer Reading & Writing, you and your students will dive into three big themes of summer: Exploration (travel and pursuing interests), Connections (spending time with other people), and Good Reads (getting lost in a good book). First is Exploration . In this unit, Around the World , you and your students will read about real and fictional people who travel the globe to find new futures for themselves, reveal hidden histories, or protect others. As you go through the unit, encourage your students to ask: How can reading expand our worlds? Read-Aloud | Whole Class You’ll start most days with a read-aloud related to the theme of Around the World . Students will jot down notes and impressions in their Student Handbooks. Before reading, you’ll guide students to preview the book and activate prior knowledge. During reading, you will highlight key vocabulary words and engage the students in discussion about the books. After reading, students will write and share book reviews.
