Today we will

be reading a new story about a girl named Bessie Pond who

lived over 100 years ago. The author had to do a lot of research

and use different sources to get the details in the story about

Bessie Pond correct. As we read, we will use the text to ask and

answer questions about the story.

Aunt Susan is historical fiction, which means it’s a made-up

story based on real people or events. As we read, pay attention

to the information and details the author uses. We can learn

facts about the past by asking and answering questions about

the story.

Reliable sources

include published encyclopedias, government sources, and certain

websites. Many websites are not reliable, however, so several sources

should be used to confirm one fact. When doing research on the Internet,

writers should look for websites run by schools or universities or the

government. Otherwise, they could find facts that are made up and not true.

Think of some questions you would ask about Susan B. Anthony if you were doing research about her. List questions that begin with each question word.
