Ah well, just another day in the faraway kingdom of Garren. The Explorers team from Mrs. Colon’s class—Rachel, Carlos, Kate, and Eli—are reading about the adventures of Jackson and Charlotte in Sir Robert’s Treasure. In fact, you might say they really get into this story. Mrs. Colon gives great rewards for academic accomplishments, and the Explorers are determined to earn the one she’s promised for the best presentation on Sir Robert’s Treasure at next week’s Readers Club. But what should their presentation be? A book report? Too ordinary. A summary of the story? What can they do to impress Mrs. Colon? “I’ve got it!” cries Kate. “We’ll ask the other kids questions about the story to see what they’ve learned!” And so begins the Explorers’ quest to learn as much as they can about asking questions so they can earn the reward. Your students will learn about questioning along with the Explorers. And who knows what treasure awaits the readers who master this powerful strategy? Instructional Objectives Reading Questioning (QU) Students will ask a variety of simple‑to‑answer and hard‑to‑answer questions about the text and answer them with correct, complete information CYCLE 1 CYCLE or explanation.

PREFACE. No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
