I feel that this little excerpt from a diary would be a good piece to do a Shared Reading with my 4th graders and have a group discussion about what is happening in the diary.
Why does the author hide her reading skill from other women?
Why did the auhor avoided writing even the simplest characters?
Why did the author pretend that she does not know how to read?
How come she finally revealed to one person that she knows how to read?
I believe that my students would be able to write some interesting pieces about this short excerpt.
