Today we watched the inauguration of our 44th President. During i-TIME we had a lesson on using a KWL chart as a stretegy for Before, During, and After Reading to help with cmprehension. Students wrote things they “Knew” about President Obama, and wrote a few questions about things they “Wanted” to Know. We also read a poem about our 44th President.
