10/22
Last week we learned about FQR charts. We use these to record facts, questions and responses (connections, opinions, inferences) that we have when reading non-fiction. Please read a non-fiction book for 20 minutes each night this week. Then, record the title and author and in the comment section. Finally, record either one Fact, Question or Response that you thought about while you were reading. I've done one for you to use as an example.

Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Ann Earle
One question I had while I was reading was, do all bats use echolocation?
Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Ann Earle
I can't believe that bats can tell the differences between food and buildings just by using echolocation. That's so cool!
