Language
We are further into the essay writing process. Students should have a thesis statement and introduction paragraph prepared for Wednesday. Also, students should be bringing in three sources of information that they will use to support their arguments and opinions.
1 Thesis Statement
1 Introduction
3 Sources of Information (newspaper articles, books, magazines, web-based, information, etc.)
Students will be in the library tomorrow (Tuesday) where they will use there time effectively to research their topic and begin typing up amazing, engaging, interesting, and concise introductions.
Concise - giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words.
Geography
Students are illustrating their homes and connecting their lifestyle to land-use and sustainability. Students are placing themselves at the centre of a piece of paper and around themselves listing their NEEDS and WANTS. Students are drawing a HOME (apartment, house, or _______ ) around themselves and listing all of the things required for their HOME to function (heat, electricity, etc.). After students have listed components for each of these categories, then students will list all the WASTE that is created by themselves, their family, and their HOME.
Four categories: NEEDS, WANTS, HOME, and WASTE
Students are to use a different colour for each category, so each may be visually distinguishable.
Students may draw or write. Your choice.
After completing the house, students are to answer four questions:
1. Do your wants exceed you needs? Explain
2. What are your thoughts on the amount of waste you create? What happens to your waste? Where
does it end up? Explain.
3. What kind of impact are you having on the environment? Positive or negative? Both? Explain.
4. What steps do you take and can you take to live in a more sustainable way? Explain.
On a more personal note, I finished reading the contributions you all made on the Trains of Thought and you all impress me. Such great ideas: thoughtful, sentimental, and honest.
