IPC - Article Reading

Students do a lot of learning through non-fiction in 4th grade.  One way they do this is by reading articles that fit our IPC units topics.  This week we read articles that pertain to our Nature of Life unit, and did so in two different ways.

The first article we read about was "Monarch Butterflies."  The students listened as I oral read the story and we discussed the information together.  They then partnered up, reread the article and answered questions pertaining to the information found in it.

Next, students were put into three groups, with each group getting an article about an adaptation that animals use.  In their groups they read the article by taking turns aloud.  Some groups started answering the accompanying questions and they'll also do a summary of their adaptation to share with the class.
