I can support my opinion with at least two good reasons.
Look: test your reason
- Read the reason.
- Ask: Does it tell WHY?
- Cross it out if it only repeats the opinion.
A School Garden

For example, a class at my cousin's school grows tomatoes and makes salad every June. That is why a garden would be great for our school.

Social Studies
I can name my community's founders and where they came from.
How Towns Get Names
Town names come from many places. Some honor a founder, like Houston, Texas, named for Sam Houston. Some come from a place the founders left, like New Bern, North Carolina, named for Bern in Switzerland. Some come from Native words. Milwaukee comes from a word that may mean "gathering place by the water." Sources do not always agree, so check two.
Fill in a card for each founder you find.
