Number the stars; chapter 1

We are going to read the book Number the Stars by Lois Lowry over the next few weeks. We will read and listen to the book in school and work with questions in which you show your understanding of the content.


Why are we doing this?
We are going to read an authentic book so that you can practice your ability to read and understand texts in English, write and speak in English and to use strategies for understanding and making yourself understood.


How are we doing this?
We will read the book Number the Stars by in school and we will also listen to parts of the book. We will work with words from the different chapters which will help you extend your vocabulary. You are also going to answer questions after each chapter in your notebook.
