Start-Up Activity
Ask your students how they would define the word fiction (made up stories). Write a definition on the board. Then ask students the following questions:
- What are your favorite fiction stories or books?
- How do you get ready to read a story or a chapter?
- What do you do while you're reading so that you stay focused?
- What do you do to understand a challenging story?
Write the steps of the writing process on the board: prewriting, writing, revising, editing, and publishing. Ask students how the writing process might relate to the reading process. Are there any similarities? Differences?
Think About It
