2nd grade Ox Cart Man family responsibilities

AS with past years my students read Oxcart Man and did a season Popplet and a vocabulary dictionary just like last year (see Nov 2012 posts). This year they also completed a Popplet naming 2 different responsibilities for each member of the family. They also created a bubble for themselves and wrote 2 responsibilities they have at home. This led to a rich discussion about how responsibilities might change from long ago to present while some responsibilities remain the same.
