THE PROCESS

STEP 2

1. Write three “I Wonder” questions about the setting of the story with your group.  If you are having trouble brainstorming, refer to the sample questions below:

                What states border Wyoming?

                When did the bluebonnet become the state flower of Texas?

                        What type of foods do people eat in Italy?

                What holidays are celebrated in Mexico?

          What are the official languages spoken in Ireland?
