The students will also answer questions regarding historical events and scientific ideas or concepts.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently. Our writing focus continues to be opinion writing (CCSS.

(CCSS.ELA.L.2.1.E)
