Researchers!

In our literacy workshop today the students were researchers! Scanning and reading non-fiction texts that would help us discover more about the automobile. Where did the idea come from and from who? What were early cars like? We used a list of keywords we had compiled from a text we had read and our own ideas of keywords to look through a range of books to see if they would help us. Today we are going to use a classify map to sort out the information we have found. We will also be thinking of what changes have been made to cars and making some predictions about the future based on what we know. In a different workshop the students were making discoveries about the mobile phone. A key question we are asking the children to think about is: Why do people make changes to things?
