Reading to find important information

Today we continued to read Farmer Will Allen and the growing table.

We read the whole book and then broke up into groups. Each group read 1-2 pages and highlighted the important information and wrote notes in their own words.
They also answered our inquiry question - What characteristics does Will have that make him a leader?

Here is a link to Will's website  - if you would like to read more about his work.







Each student came up with a characteristic / attribute of Will and gave evidence before they went out to break. 

Will Allen is ....
  • imaginative
  • responsible
  • creative
  • passionate
  • appreciative
  • co-operative
  • thinker
  • caring
  • respectful
  • successful
  • hardworking
  • amazing
  • risk taker
  • hopeful
  • enthusiastic
  • intelligent
  • committed
  • independent
  • confident
  • a communicator
  • reflective
  • knowledgeable
  • principled
The students may use some of these attributes / characteristics for their homework task about a leader in their family.
