Unit 24 : Bad News

Students read the piece in their reading pairs and threes.
They identified any difficulties they were having with vocabulary and
we discussed them.
There are many apostrophes in this piece - we considered each one and
developed strategies for deciding whether each one was an apostrophe
of possession or omission.
We considered each question as a group - questions now contain higher
degrees of inference and deduction - we asked "how do you know..."
whensver appropriate.

Students completed the formal comprehension.
