Happy Friday to all! Thank goodness for weekends!
Today in Humanities, we learned about different text structures used to format nonfiction or informational text. These are the text structures we talked about:
description/list, sequence or time order, compare and contrast, cause and effect and problem and solution. We analyzed the informational article from yesterday and discovered that it followed a compare/contrast structure. We then examined both perspectives in the compare/contrast debate and discussed where we would stand with regards to these issues.
In the Social Studies portion of class, we reviewed the geography terms that we've been studying and discussed longitude and latitude. We practiced finding places on the map based on grid coordinates and labeling the grid coordinates of specific locations.
HOMEWORK: Students have the extra credit option of writing a story using all 8 of the MULTI/POLY vocab words. Students also have an (non-extra-credit) assignment to write a paragraph comparing and contrasting two things of their choice. Lastly, students are to use the world map in their planners to write the name of the country that falls in these grid coordinates:
1. 60W and 1S
2. 135E and 30S
3. 150Wand 70N
4. 15E and 30N
5. 90W and 70N
Feliz fin de semana! Adios!
