Fourth graders practice using a graphic organizer to record their notes and answer text-dependent questions while supplying evidence of how they found their answer. They focus on a machine called the wheelright, which was commonly used back in the colonial period. As they read the text, they use a graphic organizer, embedded in the plan, in order to organize the information. They also complete two short essays about the wheelright, and the impact it had on life in the colonial village. An answer key is provided. Terrific instructional activity!
