Bigger Extension Questions

Post by tnahid » Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:11 am

I have a question about the Bigger Extensions. In the back of Bigger, does it tell exactly what the student should be doing as he/she reads their extension books? Does it state it for each book, or just a general guide for all the books? Just trying to get the extension concept in my head and see how everyone uses them.

It tells exactly what to read each day, and has a general guideline for what assignments would be appropriate.

The guide suggests doing oral narration 2 days per unit, written narration 2 days per unit, and a notebooking page (picture with caption) 1 day per unit.

I hope that's helpful!

Oh, there's also a Science reading once per unit in addition to the five assigned History readings. (I hope that makes sense!) :D
Blessings,
Elisabeth
