For the last two weeks, we've been studying biographies. The students have learned so much through our studies. We are hoping to finish this unit by Monday.
After reading four books together and working as a group to summarize the story, find the main idea and identify the significant accomplishments of each person, we began an independent study today. All the students selected their own person to research and they are hard at work reading and taking notes on the important accomplishments of their selected person.
I heard lots of "aha" moments in groups today as they read and decided what was really important and what was just an extra detail. I can't wait to share their reflections and final products with you.
