Today in class we will be doing an on-demand pre-assessment for our Analytical Reading unit. This will help me assess where students are before the learning begins and help track their growth throughout the unit.
For this on-demand, I will be reading aloud Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder", then having students answer questions regarding theme, character and point of view. These questions align with the two primary learning goals for the unit (theme and inference). Here's a link to the short story if you'd like to check it out!
