project

I love this. I have just the pattern for it. This pattern has
character traits on one side. So I can add important and interesting
facts I can't wait to see how my students respond.

I have always felt that one of the best ways to work on determining
importance is through biographies. Many of the David Adler series
work well for this.
As you read the book ( for maybe the second time), have the children
talk about what is interesting and what is important. Interesting
could be everyday events in the person's life , legends about the
person, funny incidents (George Washington and the cherry tree).
Important means what happened that made the person famous. Why is
that person important to us today.
You could use on a T chart with the strategy.
I have often cut out a generic paper doll when I use this method.
The front is a picture of the person in the dress or pants
(depending on the pattern). Open the paper and one side says
interesting and the other side says important. This is like a T
chart for the biography. The back can be a list of vocabulary words
from the story and from the student that describe the person.
