Using Illustrations To Describe Characters, Settings and Major Events

Today we continued our author study of Kevin Henkes by reading his book Kitten's Full Moon.

After reading the story the students were divided into three groups.  The focus of the groups was to work together to identify the character and settings and then either the beginning, middle or end. They engaged in conversation, shared ideas and strengthen their understanding of relationship between visual and written information to help them understand what they read.
