Today we started off with some research in the computer lab. We were trying to find out about the geographic and historic setting for our myth as well as the indigenous people of the place.

Then, we worked on conjunctions!

Today we worked on our mechanics work. Each student has a highlighted list of tasks they need to complete by Monday, April 25. We planned out how many items this means we need to do every day between now and then and spent some class time working on this.

Then, we learned some info about Chinese Acrobats. If you haven't yet brought your permission slip, please do so by MONDAY as we will be going on the field trip then.

Finally, we were introduced to our next Research and Writing project. We will start research next week on our chosen topics within the Middle East. These include the position and rights of women, the US involvement, oil, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. After research, we'll write journalistic pieces.

HW: If you didn't finish your required number of sheets for today, you need to so that you don't fall behind on this work. Don't forget your lunch for Monday.
