The Same Sun Was in the Sky
These are third-grade students' responses to the book:
I noticed that the boy in the story was like the Hohokam boy. I learned
how people still find pottery when they're building things. Beau
I think that since the Hohokam people had to walk that far it must
have been hard. Nick
I wondered what the symbols mean. The symbols are drawings and maybe
writing. M
I think that some drawings are gods that they believed in. Some drawings
look like flowers, mountains, men, numbers, snakes, the sun. One even
looks like a videotape! (They didnšt have videotapes.) They used sharp
rocks to carve the drawings. Jeffrey
Students made symbols to represent themselves. This is a selection
of their work:
I am a good reader. I can
read anything.
My symbol is a book.
