Planering Holes åk 8 VT21

During the following weeks we will be reading the book Holes written by the American author Louis Sachar. You will each week have to read or listen to between 50-60 pages. You will also be divided into book circle groups where you each week will have a different role. You will also be given homework certain weeks to broaden your English vocabulary. The focus during these weeks will therefore be to enhance your reading skills as well as practicing your speaking skills during the book discussions.

Book circle roles: 

The question leader writes 2-3 open ended questions to discuss with the reading group.   

The illustrator is in charge of drawing a scene from the designated chapters. The other members of the reading group will look at the picture and describe what is happening.   

The summarizer writes a short summary of their assigned chapters.   

The word – wizard finds 5 challenging words from the text and explains them.   

The Real-life connector tells how certain parts of the story are similar to events that have happened in their life, the life of a friend or a relative, or in current events.
