 * __Week #1 Assignment: WORDLE__ **



Student Assignment: In our reading of __The Liberation of Gabriel King__, a number of words have emerged as important. Choose three words from the Wordle and explain how they relate to one another.

I created my VoiceThread but have not been able to successfully upload my work to the wiki.  If you click on the 'VoiceThread" link you will be taken to the actual VoiceThread. In the book, Gabriel King has A LOT of fears, the biggest of which is moving up to fifth grade. His best (and only) friend, Frieda, is determined to help him; her idea is to "liberate" him by making him face his fears. First, he has to list all his fears. (His final list has 38!) In this VoiceThread, I ask my fifth graders to list their top five fears. [|Voicethread]
