HOMEWORK 2-20-13

Our country celebrated Presidents' Day this week.  Read the non-fiction text about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  You will need to read about each president separately.
Then, complete the COMMENT BOX assignment.

COMMENT BOX:  We have used a 3-2-1 chart to write about non-fiction text.  When completing a 3-2-1 chart, students summarize and show understanding of what they have read.  Students write 3 sentences to share what they have learned/discovered in the reading (the ideas should be NEW, not previous knowledge); 2 sentences to share what they found interesting; and 1 question they have and would like to answer.  You can see one example of a 3-2-1 chart by clicking the following:  3-2-1 Chart.  For tonight's homework, you need to complete a 3-2-1 chart about the Scholastic News article about Washington and Lincoln in the COMMENT BOX or you can put your answers on the example chart, print it out, and bring it to school.  You can also write your answers on regular paper.  Please make sure your writing is neat.  Use proper capitalization and punctuation.  Words from the article should be spelled correctly.
