Important Dates: The last stretch until end of school!
Good evening everyone!
Today we did some great work on our unit and projects. We did comparisons of different myths and stories about the moon, calling attention to the figurative language and literary elements used to describe the moon. Why are all cultures drawn to the moon in some way? What are the common ways we use to describe the moon? What are similes, metaphors, and personification – the tools we use to describe the moon? We created a T-chart of facts versus myths regarding the moon, as well. Finally, we watched National Geographic’s Moon Mysteries Revealed. See the link to the movie if you would like to watch the rest, as it is a long movie. We will be learning more moon, sun, and Earth information to participate in a class jeopardy game next week.
We also went over some important dates as we head into the end of school!
