Comprehension and Fluency

Read the passage. Use the reread strategy to understand difficult parts of the text.

The Generation BeltKanti snuck behind her village’s circle of wigwams. One Algonquin

family was repairing their home with fresh birch bark strips. Kanti stayed in the shadow of the trees until she reached the lake. She could see her father’s sleek canoe far off in the distance. He was fishing for their dinner. Her cousins were splashing merrily near the shore and waved to her. She stepped into the water.

“Kanti!” an irritated voice said.Kanti felt her heart drop to her stomach. She was caught. Kanti’s

mother walked quickly toward her. “Kanti, you know that your grandmother is going to teach you today.”

“It’s so steamy outside. Why can’t I swim with my cousins?” she whined.

Her mother looked sympathetic, but firm. “Sometimes we have to set aside play so we can learn. Come, I think you will like this lesson better than you predict.”

Kanti’s grandmother looked dignified sitting cross-legged in the center of their wigwam. Around her lay wide beaded belts of white and purple with all kinds of vivid designs. In front of her was a loom shaped like an archer’s bow with a few rows of beads strung.

“Thanks for coming, Kanti.” There was a mischievous glint in her grandmother’s eye. She held a few small purple beads. “Do you know what these are?”

“That’s easy, they’re wampum.” Sometimes Kanti would help collect the quahog, or clams, the beads were made from.

Comprehension and Fluency

“I actually meant, what do the beads stand for?” Kanti’s grandmother said. “Here, let me show you.”

She held out one of the most elaborate belts for Kanti to see. The purple beads made a pattern of triangles on the right side. On the left side, two figures stood holding hands next to a wigwam. “These people are your great-great grandmother and grandfather,” she said. “They traveled over the mountains to find a place to settle.” She traced the triangles with her fingers, stopping at one with the outline of a majestic bird hovering over it. “Your great-great grandmother saw an eagle that led them through the mountains.” A circle at the edge of the mountains represented the lake that fed the village. “When they found a wide lake, they knew it would support many people. This is how our village began.”

Despite herself, Kanti was drawn in by the story the belt portrayed. Suddenly, the belts’ patterns jumped out at her, all holding adventures of their own. She looked at the loom with a scant five rows completed. “What story will this belt tell?” she asked.

“This belt will tell your story,” her grandmother said. “I started it for you and you can continue to add to it as you grow.” With that, her grandmother carefully stacked the belts and left.

Kanti immediately set to work, concentrating on finding just the right shades of purple wampum before stringing together rows. The purple beads became a figure about to leap into a calm lake. She couldn’t wait for her cousins to come back so she could show them her new belt.

Pennsylvania Trifold Brochure

Fun Project Alert! You get to make a trifold brochure of the historical sites in Pennsylvania!

How lucky are you!

1. Use the provided links to virtual tours of the PA State Capitol and many historical sites and museums! Go on the tours and read all about our state history! (*you can also google “historical sites of Pennsylvania”)

2. Hold your paper horizontally and fold into thirds so you have 3 equal parts. Label your trifold “Pennsylvania” -not Mississippi (hahaha! :)

3. Choose 3 historical sites to advertise. One of your sites must be the Pennsylvania State Capitol- because it’s amazing and so full of history! In each section, write the name of your site as a heading, draw a picture, and write at least 3 things you learned about it (you can do more if you’d like!)

4. Be creative! Be original! Have fun! I can’t wait to see what you historians and artists come up with!
