The 13 Colonies

Featured Blogger: Maria

We learned about the 13 colonies, the Quakers and the Puritans.  We split up into groups and we learned one part about the 13 colonies.  My group studied about religion in the 13 colonies. For part 1 we had to read an article about the topic we studied about. Then we had to write the 5 to 10 most important facts about our topic. Then we did part 2. In part 2 we read Fact Tracker: American Revolution. It had facts about our topics, and then we had to write the 5 to 10 most important facts that were in Fact Tracker. Then we did part 3. We had to choose three text features so the reader can understand what we’re teaching them.  Then we did part 4. In part 4 worked on revising and editing.  When we revise we do “ARMS,” which stands for Add, Remove, Move, and Substitute.  Then on that same sheet it said to check for COPS. The C stands for capitalization, the O stands for order and organization, the P stands for punctuation, and the S stands for spelling. Then we used our draft to make our final draft.  We did our final draft on Book Creator. We wrote our facts and we made it into an article. It included 3 text features. Then we shared our articles. We had FUN making our articles in Book Creator!
