Eighteenth Day of School

Today we read The Princess and the Pea and discussed its structure. We were introduced to the word genre. So far, the genre's we have discussed are realistic fiction, fable, fairy tale, folktale, and fantasy. It is a good idea if every student is familiar with characteristics of each type of story. We also learned the meaning of compare and contrast and practiced expressing our ideas of similarities and differences in order to highlight our uniqueness and commonalities.
