Please read over this Story Element anchor chart. Look at the double bubble map at the bottom. Have you used one of these maps before? (Please copy this anchor chart into your Readers' Notebook under the "mini-lessons" tab.) Third: Storyworks These next two texts you will be reading, How Pizza Conquered America and Sushi Takes Over focus on two foods that became popular in the U.S. |
After you read BOTH passages, your assignment is to complete the compare and contrast sheet called "Comparing American Classics" found in the green basket up front. Your goal is to try and compare and contrast as many story elements as you can find and answer with complete sentences. It needs to be uploaded to See Saw by the end of class on Wednesday.
