Review Day for Wednesday's Exam
Today we looked over our paragraphs one last time, watched our class video and played a vocabulary game for review.
AIM: I will review 30 vocabulary words for 100% accuracy on Wednesday's exam.
Standard: 7WE3- Write content based reports that frame a key question and group details and explanations in a logical order.
Do Now:
1) Vocab term: a journey or an adventure.
2) Vocab term: a small particle that makes up everything.
3) Vocab term: the edge of land that is next to the sea.
4) What machine tried to figure out what the Big Bang looked like?
Lesson Steps:
Once we completed our Do Nows we watched the video that we had been working on with our dance and our background drawings. We then played a game of Around the World with our vocabulary words and then I collected the most recent MEAL paragraph. The question for this paragraph was: How did the Earth become our home? Students were to use facts from our notes in order to answer this question.
