Evidently some educators in Florida. They’ve created a thick workbook for one of She-Writer’s books. Here is the first page of thirty-six pages:
LEARNING CONTRACT FORM Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larsen (sic)
Dear _____________________________, (Student Name)
You and your teacher will agree on learning projects for you to complete after you read the book Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larsen. The activities will be chosen based on the goals of your Educational Plan (EP). Your teacher will help you understand the goals and pick appropriate projects. You and your teacher will agree upon the number of projects you will complete, a deadline for each project and a schedule to meet on a regular basis to discuss your progress (please complete grid below).
It is important to preview the project choices before you read the book and keep them in mind as you read. You may have a lot of ideas and questions as you are reading, so you may want to use a journal to jot them down.
Your teacher will give you a short test after you finish reading the book to make sure you understood the characters, events, and vocabulary.
ENJOY!
This Two-Legged approach to reading makes my brain tired.
I’m going to go take a nap.
Hi Winston, Someone once told me that if you tell a child she can’t read a book…she will. But if you tell her she’ll be tested on it she won’t. Oh…maybe that was my only two-leggeds experience and not a general rule. Signed: Cedar the Great, Maine Coon Cat – Ruler of the Universe
