Our first notebook entry has focused on the importance of diagrams in engineering. Diagrams, which are often seen in non-fiction texts, are an important feature that gives information and tells us something specific. Second graders had to diagram two technologies we focused on last year in 3rd grade: a circuit and a guitar!
We established a set of "rules" to follow when completing a diagram in class.
Rules for Diagrams
1. It must have a title.
2. Label just the "right" amount of parts.
3. Labels must be near the parts they identify.
4. Straight arrows must connect the labels to the parts.
5. It must be neat!
