DIRECTIONS:

USE A GRAPHIC ORGANIZER THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND COMPLETED IN CLASS.  YOU SHOULD START WITH SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE A KWL,T-CHART OR A LIST AS SUGGESTED IN #3.  AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE TEXT THEN MOVE ON TO A WEB, VENN DIAGRAM, OUTLINE OR TIMELINE.  BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR PREDICTIONS AND THE STEPS YOU TOOK TO CLARIFY YOUR RESPONSES.

YOU MAY USE INSPIRATION TO DESIGN A WEB AND AN OUTLINE.  UTILIZE THE INTERNET TO DESIGN ANY GRAPHIC ORGANIZER THAT WILL FIT YOUR PURPOSE.
