Night+in+the+Country+Reinforcing+Activity

The students will be completing a Venn diagram comparing the similarities and differences between night time in this book The students will describe what the night was like in the book, and what it is like at their home. By filling out both sides of the Venn diagram, the students will write both similarities and differences between the two nights. The similarities between the two will be placed in the center of the Venn diagram, and the differences from the book will be on the left side of the diagram, and their own experiences will be on the right. The student will also compare the way life might be different in this scene, and how it might be similar to their towns. By noticing the similarities and differences, the students will be able to infer where this might take place. Therefore, once it is complete, ask the student where they think this might be, and why they believe that. This will help the students achieve the standard that is being taught and how well they have learned and obtained the information being taught. After students fill out the Venn diagram, hold a class discussion in which they may explain their answers and examine the interpretations of their classmates.
