Wow, your Eco-columns look fantastic. You are witnessing the dependency that living organisms have on one another with a real-life example. However, I wonder what the fish may be thinking swimming around the elodea all day, tangling up in the roots of the duckweed. Well, why don't you tell me what the fish is thinking.
Create a blog post using the perspective voice of your mosquito fish. Give a detailed account a the day and the life of one of fish. Imagine the sites and sounds you may experience, the smells, the emotions, the textures...all those sensory details that can bring your fish voice to life should be included. Don't skip out on your use of adjectives. Let your reader truly relate to what it feels like to live within your Eco-column.
March 5 - In Monday's edition of CNN Student News, we report on the impact of severe weather, and we examine a legal settlement related to the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Plus, we consider how the U.S. economy could impact which presidential candidate some African-American voters support. We also share the results of Russia's presidential election, and we mark the start of the world's most famous dogsled race.
1. What's really cool about today's Student News is the fact that Mrs. McReynolds is currently in Alaska and had the chance to witness the start of the Iditarod. What decisions do you think she had to make in order to prepare for her trip and while she is adjusting to the differences in the Alaskan environment? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.
2. Compassion is a vital attribute to have embedded in ones personality. Do you have any compassion for those families that lost everything in the recent tornadoes to hit this country. Pretend you are a candidate for President of the United States and write a letter to the families expressing your thoughts about the recent events. This is going to be a new post titled: My Sympathies To You. Make sure you reference what has happened based on what you learned from the Student News and provide some sort of solution to their problem.
Have fun!
Today we will discuss decisions and decision-making. All of us make many decisions everyday. Since I woke up this morning, I have made numerous decisions; turning off the alarm and getting out of bed, what to eat for breakfast, what to wear to school, which route I would drive to school. , etc. Later on, I will list my decisions in categories. Prior to that, you will give an account of all the decisions that you make in one day. Create a blog post titled: Decisions I Make In A Day and use a conversational tone to tell us about all the decision-making you participate in throughout a regular day (school day).
Afterwards, go to the following Google Doc link (Decision Making) to then categorize your decisions on a pre-made chart. I have already listed my decisions so please follow my example.
