Taking Notes Using a Graphic Organizer: Inferring About the Importance of Religion in Colonial America

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Taking Notes Using a Graphic Organizer: Inferring About the Importance of Religion in Colonial America lesson plan also includes:
  • Grade 4 ELA Module 2a, Unit 1 Overview
  • Activity
  • Graphic Organizer
  • Project
  • Vocabulary
  • Join to access all included materials

Improve class understanding of colonial times by reading an informational text and filling out the accompanying graphic organizer. Class members work with a partner to read, take notes, make inferences, and synthesize information.The lesson does not provide a copy of If You Lived in Colonial Times, so you will need to find the text. Since the series of lessons only uses parts of the text, you could probably buy one book and make a class set for your learners.
