You have finished your science inquiry project, but the learning doesn't stop there. Take a look at your classmates projects below. In the comments, pick 5 people's projects and tell us a new fact you learned from each!
Here is an example of how your comment should look:
1. Stephanie's Project: I learned....
2. Lukey's Project: I learned....
3. Lauren's Project: I learned....
4. Sarah's Project: I learned....
5. Richard's Project: I learned....
I would suggest you pick either: courage, friendship, perseverance, or person vs. nature. Feel free to come up with your own.
For example, your three reasons for courage could be:
Roy had courage when he stood up to Dana Matherson on the bus.
Mullet Fingers had courage when he pulled out the stakes at the construction site to save the owls, even though he could’ve gotten in trouble with the law.
Roy's dad had the courage to do what was right and investigate the construction site to save the owls.
(If you have ever gotten a 4 on an essay in my class, DO NOT use all of my reasons, come up with some of your own reasons.)
Fill out your graphic organizer (Make a copy in google docs, then you can type directly onto it, OR you can print it out, OR you can do it on a separate piece of paper)
Write your rough draft
Have a conference (with your parent or call/Zoom a friend)
Type your final draft on Google docs
Fill out yourrubric (you can print it out and circle it, OR make a copy in Google docs and highlight it, OR write what you would give yourself in a note at the bottom of your essay before you share it with me)
Share the links with me in the comments and/or on Google
COMMENT your chosen theme below!
If you need help: Ms. Y and Ms. N are having office hours tomorrow, TUESDAY, from 6-7pm. I can do the graphic organizer with you if you get stuck. If that time doesn’t work for you, have your parents message me in Remind to set up another time.
*Because this is a big assignment, I suggest you work on it for about 20 minutes a day. DO NOT try to finish it all in one sitting, take some breaks!*
Our current top contributor (as of Friday) on our blog goes to EMMA! Emma, you get to pick our intro song/ mini dance party song for this week's Zoom class meetings. More info to come. Notable mentions for frequent posting and nice compliments are: Drake, DeAndre, and Julia. Keep up the good work! Lastly, WE MISS YOU!
The last day before school was out, our class had a little bit of time before our Congressional Meeting to talk about what was going on with the coronavirus. The world knows a lot more now, and here are some answers to questions you may have that other kids around our country have as well. (This is the same podcast that we listened to at the beginning of the year about the Girl and Boy Scouts.)
Listen to the podcast and take notes (it’s a good idea to pause the episode and write down notes)
Write five interesting things you learned in the comments
1. Read chapters 20, 21 and the epilogue (an epilogue is like an extra conclusion added onto the ending of a story) 2. Do the last ACE for chapters 19-epilogue (some of you already jumped ahead last week and did this) and, if you want to, the extra credit ACE 3. Share your ACE and your favorite part of the book in the comments
Here is "Hoot" as a PDF
The chapters are labeled in capital letters. Chapter 20 is pg. 105-111 Chapter 21 is pg. 111-114 Epilogue is pg. 114-118 Here are the ACE questions
You can:
1. just read (Ms. Y suggested)
2. listen and read at the same time like we do in class with the YouTube video (Ms. Y suggested)
3. listen and read along on the PDF (Ms. Y suggested)
3. just listen
Extra notes from Ms. Y: *Remember to put your name if you are 'unknown' or under your parent's account. *If you comment on someone's post, try compliments like: "I like it when you..." or "You did a good job when you...." or "I want to try.... because yours is clear/interesting/well done". This makes it more personal, specific and thoughtful. For example: I want to try to compare and contrast in my Es like Jackson because his E was interesting.
