Choose you rock or mineral

The students have been given their first home project. The first task is to let me know which rock or mineral they want to research. Please read through the document that went home, with them. I have tried to anticipate all questions, but feel free to e-mail me about anything that you don't understand.

 

Finish Page 48

We have been working on this for about 1 hour over two days. Many students are done,while others have required assistance,which slowed them down, and still others have simply not worked during class time. Please go over the page with your child to see which category they fall into.

Study

Yesterday I wrote on the board what to study and was pleased (and amazed) to see some students copy it down on their own initiative. Today I asked the others to copy it down. They were advised to study:

How the 3 types of rocks are made

Rock vs mineral

Layers of the Earth

Info from the readings in their duotangs

Vocabulary from the unit

None

The students had 2 pages of rounding and comparing questions, which most people finished.

Finish Comic Strips for Wednesday

We have been working in the library on the computers to make 3 comic strips of 4 panels each. Each comic strip is to show how a different type of rocks is made (sedimentary, igenous, metamorphic). We have had over 1 1/2 hours, not including time spent showing them how to use the program. Some are done all three, some are not done one. A few of the students seem to be going slowly because they are putting a lot of detail into their comic strips. Others seem to be chatting to their neighbours too much. Parents, please take a look at your chid's comic strip online as they are working on it.
