A Day in the Salt Marsh (Our 1st Coastal Science Unit of Study)

This week we dove into our 1st Coastal Science Unit of Study through a close reading of "A Day in the Salt Marsh".  Students filled out a KWL chart on what they already knew about the salt marsh and what they wanted to know about the salt marsh.  We read the story several times and they went back and filled in the final piece of what they learned in the KWL chart.  We read the story again, this time for the purpose of determining the text structure the author used and how it helped us as readers.  Take a look at a few pictures from this activity.
