Reading: Maya Lin, Architect of Memory

Week 3 Theme: Remembering the Past...How do we pay tribute to those who stand up for what they believe in? In our story this week, some people, like Maya Lin, design memorials to celebrate those people who fight for what is right, or what they believe in. Maya Lin is an architect, and has designed many things including: a huge clock, a park, and two memorials here in the United States.

This week, we'll also be learning about main idea and summary. The main idea is the most important point an author makes about a topic. To find the main idea, think: What is the author talking mostly about? Remember a summary helps you as a reader better understand what you have just read. A summary has 3 parts: BEGINNING, MIDDLE, and END.

Here's your vocabulary for the week, as well as a fun game!
