To finish out our first week of fourth grade, we read The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig. Once again, character, community, conflict, conclusions, and connections were a priority. In addition, though, we examined the illustrations and discussed their connection to the text. Color was a key to communicating emotion and the message of the text.
What do colors communicate? How can we make the invisible visible?
Use the Google Drawing document to create a list of colors and their related emotions. (**You will need to make a copy of the document before completing.**) This final product will come in handy as we write our own compositions.
This coming week, we will continue our comparison of the texts read using our comparison chart and a triple Venn diagram.
**Thank you, Mr. Collins, for adding to our collection of community-building books by sharing Strictly No Elephants by Lisa Mantchev.
