  2. Prior Knowledge • Think about what a river is (what it looks like, what it is made of, what they are used for, names of any rivers) • Turn to your “elbow partners” when the signal is given to discuss with them what you have thought of. • Let’s get together as a group, after your discussion time, to talk about your information. • Now, let’s read from our Social Studies Weekly newspaper to get more information before moving on!
