The Leaving Morning by Angela Johnson
Moving can be a very difficult thing to do. There are people to say goodbye to, favorite places that will be missed and many boxes to pack. The Leaving Morning is the simple story of a young boy saying goodbye to his familiar life in the city. With literary elements to support deeper understanding, Angela Johnson paints a picture in her reader’s mind. Students rely on strong imagery and text evidence to support inferring opportunities. Engaging mini-lessons support student comprehension strategies such as asking questions, identifying author’s purpose, visualizing, making inferences and making connections.
