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.

Marching with

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.

I am going to ask

and answer questions about

the text. My first question is,

who are the main characters

in this story? Bessie and

Susan B. Anthony are

the main characters. I am

going to write “Who?” in

the left column of my chart

and “Bessie and Susan B.

Anthony” in the right column

across from it. My next

question is, where does this story take place? It takes place in California.

I’m going to write “Where?” and “California” on my chart.

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.
