Big Ron's Mission by Corinne Naden


Title:  Big Ron’s Mission

Author: Corinne Naden

Illustrator: Don Tate


Summary: 

Ron loves books, but growing up the in 1950’s it was easy for Ron.  He couldn’t even check out books in the library.  This is a book about his love for books, and the beginning of his inspiration that would lead to him becoming an astronaut.

Rating:

I love this book.  It has so many great things going on within the book.  There are many different ways for students to learn from this book.

 
AR Information

·       Level: 2.9

·       Quiz points value:  .5

·       Grade Interest Level: K-3

Curriculum Connections:

I will have the students create a news report of the book.

CCSS

RL.3.6

SL.3.5

Reading:

My plan at this point is to start with small group discussion about the book and each student’s point of view.  The students will then discuss their point of view during a whole class discussion.

Speaking and Listening:

My plan is for students to be broken up either pairs or triplets.  I want each student to have a role in the news cast. I want them to report on the events of the day.  This report can be on any aspect of Ron’s life that they consider important.
