TODAY'S TASKS ARE:
1. Monthly News Article:
TODAY'S ARTICLE:
Take a good look at the political comic. After reading, answer the questions by either downloading and editing the page, writing your answers on a separate piece of paper, or typing them out in a word document. Upload your answers to FreshGrade.
Each week we are going to learn about a new type of poem. Complete each daily task so that you are ready to create the best possible poem that you can at the end of the week.
THIS WEEK'S POEM: Acrostic.
There are several ways to write an acrostic poem. It can be a list, with a different item or characteristic (trait) on each line. See the example below. "Emma" is a list poem made up of phrases; "Tarzan" is a list poem made up of single words. Or, and acrostic poem can comprise a statement or question that works its way through the poem, as in the examples "Cat" and "Trash."
Today, you will create a good copy of your poem. You will need to color and add illustrations. Try to include drawings of things related to the theme of your poem or details about you. See the example below. Upload your poem to FreshGrade by Monday evening.
EXAMPLE:
TODAY'S QUESTIONS:
What are some different ways you could save money when grocery shopping, or buying lunch?
Is there a significant difference between the cost of a "homemade lunch" versus a "restaurant bought" lunch? You may have to do some research to answer this question.
Write down your answers to the daily question and save them. We will discuss these during next week’s scheduled Teams meetings.
