Period 3 - Plume's journey

Feather's Journey

   Hans de Beer    

A tender story...

A small polar bear is drifted on an iceberg.

He arrives in Africa.  There, he learns that there are colors other than white. He meets other animals and discovers other landscapes.  It is on the back of a whale that he returns to the far north.

Session 3 Proofreading games

  • How many words are there in this sentence?

      _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  Separate the words using scissors, this gives a set of movable labels

      _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  (emphasize place and function of point)

 

  • Oral to written segmentation

      _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  repeat the sentence by pointing the words (notion of word not to be confused with syllable)

 

  • Collective reordering of word tags to reconstitute the sentence then individual sheet in independent workshop

 

  • Hide a word from the sentence, find it

 

  • Replace certain words with others that belong to the class repertoire

      _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ (mom, first name, Tangerine....)

Plume arrive au Pôle Nord

Rappel de la dernière séance.

Découverte des pages 20 et 21

On remarque que Dago n'accompagne pas ses amis jusqu'au Pôle Nord. 

On voit un ours adulte au loin, est-ce le papa ?

-> Plume fait signe => c'est sûrement le papa.

On ne dit pas qui pêche le poisson. On peut penser que c'est le papa car Plume est petit et au début de l'histoire, il n'a pas appris à pêcher.

Résumé :                     Orque est arrivée au Pôle Nord

                                       avec Plume.

                                      Papa ours pêche un poisson pour
