We are looking into whether the library should buy more books about space and rockets or should we just have students use the Internet? Remember, you may voice an opinion, but you must back it up with factual information from a reliable source. Give the name of the source for each piece of information.
I want to see titles of books that you think would be good for our library. (A good source for books would be an online bookstore, or a library catalog such as MINERVA.) I also want to see titles of websites that you would recommend to students studying space and rockets.
Please make sure to do your own thinking - do not copy & paste information.
Why is it important to use more than one resource to answer an Essential Question?
Let me know what kind of food and how often to feed your fish. This space is for that Essential Question.
Once you have decided on what fish to put into our aquarium, it is necessary to choose the habitat - plants, gravel, decorations with care. We have a 35 gallon tank. What kind of gravel, plants, heater, and filter should we have?
Please remember to tell us where you found your information. Use this strand to talk about freshwater aquarium habitat.
We are researching aquariums.
1. First we need to define THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION
what makes a good Essential Question?
if you are having trouble thinking of an Essential Question, use the GOOD QUESTION CUBE to give you a jump-start.
example of a question might be: what kind of fish can go into a freshwater aquarium?
I’m reading aloud from the book, Lowji Discovers America by Candace Fleming. The reason I picked this book to read aloud is that Lowji sees America from a different point of view from mine. I really like how he goes about making friends. Let me know what you think about the story as we continue reading it. I will respond to your thoughtful comments.
