Making Generalizations
Hello Readers,
In shared reading, we've been working on making generalizations. Generalizations are made about a group of people or things and are generally true most of the time (but not all the time). What generalizations have you been able to make by reading the biography of Albert Einstein?
Thanks,
Mrs. S

Character Traits
Hello Group A,
We have been reading a biography about Albert Einstein as a child. How would you describe him as a person to someone who knew nothing about him? Describe his character traits and then use examples from the book to support your opinion.
Push your thinking!!!
