Using the Sun
Long ago, people didn’t have clocks
or watches like you do. When the
sun rose, they got up, and when
the sun went down, they went to
bed. They told time by the position
of the sun in the sky.
morning sun
noon sun
evening sun
The sun tells when it is morning, noon, and
evening,
morning
noon
evening
Shadow clocks made it easier to tell time
between sunup, noon, and sundown.
People discovered that they could
use a stick and the sun to tell time.
This was called a shadow clock.
They put a stick in the ground,
pointing straight up. The direction
of the stick’s shadow and how long
or short it was told them the time.
Questions listed are only
for inspiration. Please
come up with engaging and
creative questions.
Let’s read!

Protostar Education
Protostar was founded by a group of moms and dads who first
built the platform for their own children to learn English in a well-
established and systematic way.

Our goal is to build an online English school that:

• leverages the advantages of an online formation
• keeps the advantages of a brick and mortar school
That's why we require our teachers to have at least
one year of teaching experience in a school.
