Plot development is where it’s at in today’s episode!
Peter’s Chair, by Ezra Jack Keats, is a classic text that all students should read. Peter is a young boy who has just become a big brother and he’s learning how to handle change in his own way. In today’s lesson we’ll look for opportunities to develop the plot further, just like students need to do in their own writing.
Join National Board Certified Teacher, Reading Specialist, and Literacy Coach Dr. Julie Webb as she describes the teaching possibilities hidden inside this treasured mentor text.
