Les détails importants!

We have been working hard to extract important details from text.  We have used a few different types of text but the most interesting are the scientific articles for kids from "Les débrouillards".

I actually used to work for "Les Débrouillards" in Sherbrooke, Québec as an "animatrice"!  It was a blast.  For two months, we planned Scientific experiments for a summer of fun at camp (another two months of fun/hard work!).  Here are two photos that show off our experimental/creative skills!

Back on track, here is the graphic organizer we have been using to identify important details in various texts.  First, we highlight the text.  Then, we write down the important ideas we have highlighted.

We have also used a similar tool for our research projects on Canada's Provinces and Territories.  Here is the link to a video the students loved that depicts our beautiful country in aerial shots: Canada, An Aerial View
