RI.4.2
Submission Required
Students reread their peer and family interview notes, highlighting quotes about how the story’s main idea shaped beliefs, emotions, or actions. In small groups, they write key insights on sticky notes and sort them into theme clusters (e.g., "learning kindness," "understanding fairness," "facing fears"). Groups label each cluster and connect it to specific explicit or implicit evidence from the original text that supports the central idea.
