What this lesson teaches

To answer a question, we can think about what we know or look in a book. Then we write the answer.

Worked examples

Example 1

Question: "What do birds build?" We remember or look, then write: "Birds build nests."

Example 2

Question: 'Where do bears sleep in winter?' Look it up, then write: 'Bears sleep in dens.'

Example 3

Write the answer in a whole sentence. 'Dens' alone does not tell anyone what the question was.

Practice questions

  1. Think of a question about animals.
  2. Look in a book or remember the answer.
  3. Write your answer in one sentence.
