Lesson Plan

Researching: Eyewitness Accounts, Part 1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Time to go on a quote hunt! Because learners cannot interview real eye witnesses for their newspaper articles, they read through text The Great Earthquake and Fires of 1906 looking for quotes to answer their questions. Learners complete a Researching Eyewitness Accounts graphic organizer and examine text in their research folder.
