Who would like to retell the events of Wanted!? Reading strategy: Think/Alouds today will focus on Important details. I will be modeling this strategy as I read. Turn to page 66

What is Alice’s best friend’s name? – Kelsey What kinds of things did you notice that seemed important in this section of WANTED!? What might these clues tell us about who killed Marc Robie? How did Cooney(the author) let you know which things are important? Why would an author include things that are not important in a story?

How did Cooney(the author) let you know which things are important? – Changes the font of the text Bigger Smaller Written crooked or italicized Why would an author include things that are not important in a story? – Maybe to catch our attention

What kinds of things did you notice that seemed important in this se ction of WANTED!? – When Alice said that running feels good – The jeans make her feel taller – When she stole the book bag at an elementary school – The way she decided to run from the police (ran out of the mall, jumped on the back of a truck, she almost got hit by a vehicle, she was listening to people talking on the payphone, etc…) – When she stole clothes out of the mall – When she took the price tag off of a purse and then said someone left it in the dressing room. – When she changed clothes in the school bathroom – She ripped holes in her clothes – She stole cheap clothing – When she thought about the school being in while hers was out of school for a teacher learning day.

What might these clues tell us about who killed Marc Robie? – About her leaving right after the crime – When she was remembered needing a work id card to get into the building – Her love of running and crying – Throwing Up – She acts before she thinks…then she feels bad…then she does something bad again
