Integrated Reading / Inquiry / Writing Grid

 We were learning to read different sources about climate change to find answers to some questions that we have come up with and identify some interesting facts that we discovered or new questions that arise from what we have read. It has been a lot of discussions, agreeing and disagreeing with the information to answer our questions.
