What is Culture?

Key Question Words
Building Knowledge
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How. These words help us form questions to learn more.
Use these words to ask questions about the text or people's experiences to gain a deeper understanding.
Why Ask Questions?
Questioning helps us build knowledge, clarify meaning, and connect our experiences to what we read.
