7th Graders: Tuesday homework: Continue to answer the Review Sheet passed out last week. Unit test (Studying People Scientifically) planned for Wednesday. Please have your Review Sheets completed before class on Wednesday. Since you'll also have a Current Event due on Friday of this week, you might want to find an article and write out your Current Event.
6th Graders: Tuesday: No homework was assigned for 6th graders from Friday through Tuesday. They will have a Current Event due this coming Friday, so on Tuesday they may write out their Current Event, based on the article:"Comets Created Earth's Oceans, Study Concludes" at http://www.space.com/13185-comets-water-earth-oceans-source.html.
Current Event format: On a separate piece of paper, each student must write out this information: 1) Title of the article; 2) Author's name; 3) Source of the article; 4) date of the article; and 5) summary in YOUR OWN WORDS including main point of the article and supporting details. You can get up to 10% extra credit for writing out and labeling a Reader / Text Connection in your Current Event.
If you just want to learn some sick facts about fire (but you may not use this for a Current Event), check out "20 Things You Didn't Know About Fire", October 2011 issue; published online October 7, 2011, found at http://discovermagazine.com/2011/oct/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-fire.
