Tuesday, Tuesday. Yeah!
Today in Humanities, students took their vocab quiz over the MULTI and POLY root words. Then, they made a list of this week's vocab words and used context clues to figure out definitions of these words. Here are this week's vocab words:
INTER= between, among
1. intercede-v- to help two parties reconcile differences
2. intercept-v- to seize or interrupt before arrival
3. intermission-n- break between parts of entertainment
4. interfere-v- to enter into or take part in the concerns of others
5. intermittent-adj- coming and going at intervals, not continuous
6. intermediate-adj- middle level
7. interrogate-v- to question formally and systematically
8. intersperse-v- to scatter something in or among
Next, Miss Devine reviewed the map tasks from yesterday's lesson on map scale. Students then began a 2-day map project with the following criteria:
Project: Redesign the classroom!
Problem: Miss D's classroom does not have enough space and she wants to redesign the layout of the room. You can help! You will apply your map skills to create a map of the redesigned classroom space. The room must have 26 desks and 2 teacher desks for Miss D. and Mrs. C. Objects can be rearranged as you choose, but some items cannot be moved. The items that cannot be moved are: windows, door, bookcases and the two whiteboards. Your map must contain a legend, a compass, a map scale, an appropriate title and a map grid. You must also submit a proposal explaining why your setup will improve the classroom space.
Students will have in-class time on Tuesday and Wednesday to work on the project and will present their map and proposal on Thursday.
