We have jumped right into some deep thinking in third grade language arts in our first three weeks together. In order to kick off our exploration of how authors use the theme of change, we decided to look at our own lives for a minute first to see how human beings (especially third grade human beings) experience change. By brainstorming on sticky notes, we came up with our examples. The next step was to see if there are categories of change that we experience. All three of our groups working seperately found that there are a lot of body changes that we experience. We talked about the generalizations about change:
Change is linked to time. Change is everywhere. Change may be positive or negative. Change may organized or random. Change may happen naturally or may be caused by people. We have now moved on to reading stories and novels but our conversations return to the concept of change especially as we read The Green Book, a story about a group of people that must leave Earth to settle on a new planet. Talk about change!
