Anticipation/ Reaction

Yesterday, students completed an Anticipation/ Reaction form on a read aloud about pioneers.  Before this short story was read to them, they completed true/false questions about pioneer statements (anticipation).  Then I read the story to them.  As we went along, we decided on the correct response (reaction).  Ask your child if the following statements are true or false. :)

    1. Pioneers could stop in restaurants or grocery stores during their journey  West.    

     2. Flour was the most important item pioneers used.

   3. Butter was made while the wagon bumped along.                                       

    4. Pioneers could not eat any fresh foods while along their way.      

    5. Pioneers did not have a stove with them to cook food.               

   6. Watchagot stew was made out of dried vegetables, beans, and leftovers.

     7. Pioneers ate doughnuts.
