After distributing copies of the story, he reads it aloud as the students follow along in the text. The class discusses the plot and characters and explores how students can use their voices to convey the characters’ feelings. Parts are assigned for a Readers’ Theater performance to be held in class at the end of the week. Students practice their parts as a choral reading, then in small groups, in order to read smoothly with expression. They take home their copies of the story and practice reading aloud their parts. Finally, the students perform their readings in front of a live audience of kindergarten students, attempting to read smoothly and with expression.

35On the board, Mrs. Harper prints tri in the middle of a word part web, explaining to her fourth graders that tri is a Latin word part that means “three.” She asks students to brainstorm words that contain tri and adds their suggestions to the web. Mrs. Harper discusses the importance of knowing the meaning of some Greek and Latin word parts that are common in English words. She displays a chart showing Greek and Latin morphemes that represent numbers, such as uni, di, quad, milli, oct, and an example of an English word containing each part. After becoming familiar with these parts through a riddle game, Mrs. Harper divides the class into groups. She assigns each group a different numeral and asks the students to brainstorm words that begin with the corresponding Greek and Latin morphemes. Each group creates its own number riddles on chart paper and displays them for the rest of the class.
