Students will look at the question and write for 3-5 minutes on answering the question. Tell the students to use their imagination and answer it the best that they can. Then have the student share with you what they think the answer is. Watch the video and read the passage. Have them write down at least 3 things they have learned after listening or reading the answer to the question. If you have siblings at home with you, share your writing with them. This would be a great opportunity to try out the “Try it Out” activities at the end of the reading passage. Please choose one daily or one of the writing prompts.
