Locating Information
I used the story on Chester Greenwood (earmuff innovator) and modeled how to locate information. I used 1 book and 2 online articles. I explained and showed them that they may not find all the information they need from one source. I also made it clear that they must read about their inventor. I will help your child find online articles, but it is their job to read and locate the information in the article.
2nd Grade Homework
Students must finish completing the above worksheet. They are required to find 4 things about their inventor's early life. Information can be in bullet format.
Example:
Example:
- Chester developed business skills at an early age. He sold his chicken's eggs to buy candy, but instead of eating the candy he sold it to the kids in his neighborhood.
- Chester was born with large ears.
- He didn't like wearing a wool cap because it made his ears itchy. He was allergic to the wool.
- At 15, Chester reinvented the earmuff and made it better.
