Global Read Aloud Week 4

This week during the Global Read Aloud project, we read the story Tough Boris. We talked about character traits and came up with a list of juicy words to describe the character of Boris the pirate. We imagined why Boris grew up to be such a tough pirate by writing our own stories about what could have happened to him when he was younger.

To share our thinking, we collaborated with Mrs. Johnson's class from Dallas Texas. We wrote many reading responses to questions her class posted about the story Tough Boris. I posted a few of them below. You can see more on our Twitter profile page or by following the hashtag: #GRAMem
