In science, we worked on transforming notes into paragraphs for the Five Kingdoms Project. Students integrated the use of transition words (from LA) into their science paragraphs. Additionally, students were encouraged to express their creativity and writing skills through their science projects.
In LA, we learned about the plot, and used a graph to depict the plot curve.
1.) POST A RESPONSE: We learned about the different parts of the plot curve today. The sections of the plot curve are: introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
Watch this quick slideshow before you post - http://www.slideshare.net/amyd22/elements-of-a-plot-diagram
For each section of the plot curve (except the resolution), write down the event(s) in "The One and Only Ivan" that belongs to that section of the plot curve.
For example, if you think that Stella's death is a part of the rising action, you would write "Rising Action: Stella's death". You may have more than one event in each section of the plot curve.
Use the format below in your response: (exclude the resolution section)
Introduction:
Rising action:
Climax:
Falling Action:
2.) LA: Finish your name card (should have an adjective that begins with the same letter as your name)
3.) SCIENCE: Finish writing at least 2 paragraphs for the 5 Kingdoms of Living Things Project.
4.) MATH 7: 5.6 Worksheet #1a-f (use grids for 3 of the questions)
MATH 6: Any homework assigned by your teacher (feel free to post it in the comments below)

This video uses slightly different terms for parts of the plot, but it has similar ideas to what we discussed in class.

- Setting, characters, problem = Introduction
- Denouemont = Resolution
