Bulletin Board Using Deeper Meaning Anchor Chart

HIGHER LEVEL THINKING; ANALYSIS OF THE TMEME OR DEEPER MEANING

To make this bulletin board I utilized deeper meaning anchor chart above.

Next, I read the picture book, The Librarian of Basra,  to my students.  On one paper the students wrote down the conflicts of the story.  On another, they wrote down the setting of the story.  On another, they wrote down character traits of the librarian. To figure out the character traits the students focused on what the librarian did and that translated to a character trait.  Ex. She saved the books even when the governor told her not to; so she was brave. On the bottom of the board, the students wrote the deeper meaning of the book. To find the deeper meaning the students focused on what the characters did that was good and bad.  Ex. A war was started, so the deeper meaning was peace.  Ex. The librarian saved the books, so the deeper meaning was that books are the key learning. This bulletin board can then be used as a spring board, when teaching comprehension of other books.  It is easy to do! It  is meaningful, and the students have ownership in it.  Most of my bulletin boards this year relate to reading comprehension and can be used K-12th grade.
