This week I read Monday October 29th through November 2nd for twenty minutes each day. I told my middle school students that we should read another Ziggy book together, so they picked The Buried Bones Mystery and we read the first four chapters. I read aloud while they followed along, and I stopped several times during reading to ask them vocabulary questions and clarifying questions that answer who, what, where, when wht and how.
Chapters one through four were about Ziggy, Rashawn, Jerome and Rico looking for something fun to occupy their time during their summer vacation. They all agreed to go to the park and play basketball, but when they got there some one had cut all the basketball poles down with a chainsaw. They had to find a new activity. The swimming pools were closed because kids kept jumping the fence at night and one even drowned, and there were no malls or arcades in walking distance. they came up with the idea for a club house. They decided to build it in Ziggy's backyard since it was the largest. They completed the 10 by 12 feet building. They also made their rules, chose a club name and a secret password.
