Stone Fox
By Elaine

Clip to ScrapBook   
As a class, we read Stone Fox. My objective during reading was for students to identify character traits and use evidence from the book to support what they say. (I read My Rotten Red-Headed Brother by Patricia Polacco before starting Stone Fox to model finding character traits with evidence.)

After reading the novel, we watched the Stone Fox video, and students took notes to compare/contrast the book and movie. Then we wrote paragraphs about the similarities and differences we found. It was a great little book to use to for the beginning of 4th grade. It was also a great way to integrate R&W Workshop.
