10/11/2023 – ELA Writing – Developing Strong Paragraphs
We’ve moved on from writing strong sentences to writing strong paragraphs.
Use the image below to work on…
- Your see, think, wonder chart.
- After you are done, begin writing a single paragraph about what you think is happening in the image.
**TIP** Remember to only pick a couple of your points. I’m looking for expanded ideas, not just lists of what you see. I want to know WHY you think something is happening.

- On WORD, you will need to create a neat worksheet that your classmates can work on after they’ve watched the video.
- Your worksheet should have the instructions on how to write the poem, in case someone is absent and needs to catch up
Use specific terminology in your PowerPoint and Word document:
Stanza / Couplet / Tercet / Quatrain / Sestet / Rhyme / Rhyme Scheme / Syllable / Line

03/06/2023 – Math 6: Area and Perimeter of Rectangles and Squares
Watch this video tutorial. Keep in mind that instead of using l & w (length and width), we are using b & h (base and height). https://youtu.be/Gy4uBtUu_k4
Afterwards, create some rectangles on your own, give them measurements, and solve for their perimeter and area.
Once you’re ready, solve these questions on the board with unknown sides.
