Ahoy! We will discuss background knowledge about student’s experience with sailing or boating. Students will learn the basic parts of a sailboat by viewing photos and videos from my personal sailing experience. We will explore how a sailboat moves and discuss the basic science behind the fun! To summarize what we’ve learned, we will complete a step-by-step sailboat drawing and label the parts with terms learned in class. Providing labels on a picture is a nonfiction text feature that helps us organize what we’ve learned and see new information easily.
