4.06-Lost Colony Of Roanoke-In Search of...

Here is the video we began watching about the Roanoke Colony. Check it out to see what historians think happened to the colony.

     On January 29th, I went to the District Science Fair with 3 other students as well as our science fair winner, Megan.  At the district Science Fair we saw science fair projects from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade. We also saw displays from The Catty Shack Ranch, The Last Tee, The Cummer Museum and MOSH. 

      At the MOSH display, we saw a demonstration of static electricity, static electricity is when positive and negative charges in an object no longer balance. At The Catty Shack Ranch display they gave us tickets to their ranch if we read 10 books so we could see their cats. At The Last Tee we saw a demonstration of density.

      We had a great time!

Annotations for Reading

Annotating a Text

The purpose of annotating a text is to record the inner dialogue we as readers have with our text.  It becomes a visual record of your thoughts.

·       Mark any important information

·       Write in the margins (take notes)

·       Summarize in 3-4 words

·       Make predictions

·       State opinions

·       Make connections: text to text, text to self, text to world

·       Look for patterns/repetitions

·       Analyze the author’s craft

·       Reflect on content

·       Reflect on your own reading

·       Jot down questions you have

·       Use underlining or symbols

Be creative and make it work for you!  There is no right or wrong way to annotate.
