Students will develop a new question to ask the authors.
 

    Yesterday we began studying our new author of the month.  We started off the day by reading a selection by Jan and Stan Berenstain.  Today we are going to use the computers to look for information about the Berenstains.
                                                                                                                                                                          
 
    Your mission will be to read an article about the Berenstains.  While reading the article, you will be asked to answer the questions listed below.  Once you are done answering the questions, we will have a large group discussion.  PRINT THIS PAGE NOW.

Good luck and happy reading!
