Women's Suffrage

Hello Readers,

Please look at this website http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/suffrage/ and spend a good amount of time reading and doing the activities.  The reading and activities correlate with the book we are reading, Bread and Roses on the topic of women's suffrage.  When you're finished, write a summary about what you learned. 

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Summary

Hello Readers,


I would like you to read one of the stories from this website: http://www.rif.org/kids/readingplanet/bookzone.htm.  I hope you will find one that is enjoyable for you! Please write a summary of the story when you are finished reading it. Make sure to include all of the important parts of the story, write it in time order, and use transitions.

Thanks,
Mrs. S

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

Evaluate

Dear Literature Circle A,

Recently we worked on the evaluating strategy during shared reading.  Please evaluate the biography on Albert Einstein that we are reading.  Evaluate it for the following:

Is the text useful in any way?
Is the text entertaining?
Does the text provide information?

Remember to SUPPORT your answers.

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

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!!!

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

Biographies

Hello Lit. Circle A,


We just learned about biographies and are about to read one about Martin Luther King, Jr. Remember that a biography is a true story about someone's life written by someone else.

Please read a one biography from this website: http://www.biography.com/bio4kids/bio4kids-meet.jsp . When you have read about that person, please write a summary of that person's life.  Begin with a topic sentence and be sure to include the most important things in their life.  It should be AT LEAST 5 sentences.

Thanks,
Mrs. S

If Immigration Never Happened

Hi Students,


What do you think America would be like if Ellis Island never opened and all of those immigrants weren't accepted into the country in 1903 and thereafter? How would it be different today? Would it be better in any way? Would it would be worse in any way? I am looking for a 4 effort on your response and can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks,
Mrs. S
