Welcome back from break!
Today in Humanities, students received their new vocab for the week:
Bio, Vit, Viv= life
1. biography-n- written history of a person's life
2. biology-n- the study of living organisms
3. biodegradable-adj- capable of being broken down into harmless material by the help of living things
4. revitalize-v- to give new life or vigor to
5. revive-v- to restore life
6. vital-adj- necessary to maintain life
7. vivacious-adj- lively
8. vivid-adj- having the appearance of life or freshness
We also practiced identifying common nouns (ex: school), proper nouns (ex: Atlanta Charter Middle School), abstract nouns (ex: love) and concrete nouns (ex: bicycle).
We introduced our Latin America unit by working in groups to see how well we could label countries on a map of Latin America. Later, we correctly labeled and colored the map.
Homework: Students need to draw the pictures for their new vocabulary words. Students need to write three examples of each type of noun discussed in class. Finally, students need to finish labeling and coloring the map of Latin American and bring this with them to class tomorrow.
