Grade 3 Unit 3 Invention and Innovation by Megan Haberkam https://padlet.com/mhaberkam/uys3lqj3o8aa Literacy Center Ideas In this unit, Invention and Innovation-How Solving Problems Leads to New Ideas, students read informational texts, along with several poems, related to the theme of invention to develop proficiency for reading, writing, and speaking. Students read a variety of informational selections to develop skills and strategies for reading expository texts. They read short biographies and informational texts about inventors and their inventions to gain knowledge about the creation, innovation, and continuing development of inventions. Invention topics in texts range from the simple (ear muffs and windshield wipers) to the complex (human flight, biomimicry, and renewable energy). Leveled readers provide additional opportunities for students to read and compare texts on the same topics, all related to inventors, inventions, and innovations. en-us 2018-12-10 20:12:34 UTC 2023-05-27 01:39:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Word Ladders mhaberkam https://padlet.com/mhaberkam/uys3lqj3o8aa/wish/313389864 on Megan's resource book display]]> 2018-12-11 13:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mhaberkam/uys3lqj3o8aa/wish/313389864 Listen to Reading: You could have the children fill out organizers for any of the standards addressed in this unit. http://digital.readworks.org/ Create a free account and receive a code for your students to access the information. https://www.getepic.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQiA5bvEBRCM6vypnc7QgMkBEiQAUZftQAbFaRVFMdgHkkA3FyZj-DZDWgOylIgJpZ0jXukNMbUaAudH8P8HAQ Scroll to the bottom to teacher for a free membership mhaberkam https://padlet.com/mhaberkam/uys3lqj3o8aa/wish/313397456
