Agriculture, a Common Theme
Participants will use informational texts about food, clothing, and homes to identify common themes. They will identify ways to move from explicit themes (all are our basic needs) to more implicit understanding of the topic. Text structures (cause/effect, problem/solution, etc.) will be modeled to write about the information discovered.

Kristen Wescott, grew up on a Dairy Farm in Albion, Maine. Her summers were filled with haying and showing dairy cattle at the fairs.
