This past week in Grade 6 we have begun our first novel study. We are reading the novel Egghead. This novel explores the themes of: bullying, friendship, loyalty, courage, peer pressure, power, and choice. We had a discussion in class this week revolving around the lessons we can learn from an author’s specific word choice.
Below you will find the link for our Egghead Notes/Activity Slides. Students can reference these slides to make up any notes/activities they might have missed.
