3. Essential Question: What Makes Us Wise?
 * Review last quarter's essential question:
 * Who Am I?
 * All of our readings were related to the question.
 * We read about names.
 * We read about how our families help us grow and learn.
 * We read about patterns in our eyes, fingerprints, and DNA.
 * All these readings help us answer the question, Who Am I?
 * Our new Essential Question: What Makes Us Wise? is on page 80
 * What does wise mean? (someone who knows/has learned much)
 * How do we get to be wise? Where do we learn?
 * **In groups**, have students answer the question: where do you learn?
 * Each student will add their answer to a common paper/white board.
 * I learn at ....................
 * To learn about ..................., I go to ....................
 * Words to use:
 * school, home, the internet, work, practice, listen, watch, try, find, create.
 * Groups share responses.
