Fourth - You may begin to research a HEROIC historical person and list when and where this person live, some interesting facts, and why he or she is considered a hero or heroine.
THIRD- You have already been assigned a chapter to read from http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/gannett/dragon/dragon.html. After reading the chapter, on blank paper students need to write the name of the chapter on top, create an illustration describing the events, write six sentences below the illustration summarizing the chapter, and writing their name at the bottom of the page. Use the Somebody- Wanted- But- So- strategy to summarize the chapter.

Be sure to click "How the Body Works" and then on the PICTURE of the brain, muscle, stomach, bones, heart, OR lungs and finally on ARTICLE to read about the one system you want to research.
