Learning Targets 3/27

WRITING:

  • You will practice writing with elaboration and detail by writing examples for each elaboration icon based on your Puget Sound Research. 
    • EXAMPLE: Imagine that you are a sleek black torpedo streaking after a bright eyed seal.  Your white spots glow in the sunset light as you return to your pod.  Their calls drowning out the treacherous land sounds.  You are an orca.  – Hannah (Imagine that…)
    • EXAMPLE: Plankton can produce a very pretty thing called sea foam.  It is a foam that looks like someone blew a bubble in it.  The bubble is a very pretty pink, bluish and clear bubble. – Jake B. (Description)
    • EXAMPLE: (About the Goshawk) Even though they are a least concern for animal specialists, in the 1800s there unique birds were extinct in England and Ireland due to gamers and specimen collectors.  Through trades and falconry escapes, they are not at their point present.  Please respect those brids by looking at them in the wild, not by taking them out of the forests they love.  They wish to live as solitary creatures, so leave them alone to live their lives. – Coulson (call to action)

AND, one more EXAMPLE…

“George, doesn’t the bald eagle look like a big fluffy rhino?”

“No, Fred have you been doing your research?”

“It does not look like a rhino, it looks like a winged kangaroo, right?”

“DO YOU HAVE BRAINS ON YOU?  I’ll give you a hint, it lives in North America, not Asia or Australia.  Also, the bald eagle is 71-106 cm from head to tail. It’s not the size of a rhino!”

“Oh!  I get it, it must be a type of eagle.  It’s black, isn’t it?”

“No.”

“Is it brown with a purple polka dotted head?”

“No, it is brown with a pure white head with two beady eyes.”

– Jackson (Dialogue)

 

MATH:

  • You will work respectfully with your group to solve a complex math problem.  Here’s what we did:
    • Worked until we found consensus or agreement about what other people in the group liked.
    • Proposed an idea to the whole group and everyone agreed.
    • Thought about our work and agreed
    • People took turns talking and asked for other’s opinions, instead of all talking at once so the words become unintelligible.
    • When there was disagreement, we found a new idea that everyone liked.
    • Everyone proposed their own ideas regardless of right, wrong, good or bad.
    • People accepted ideas they could live with. And added humor.
    • Divided the work and conquered.
    • Everyone worked hard and compared answers to check work.
  • You will organize your math process in writing so that other people can read and follow your thinking.

SCIENCE:

  • You will use the Scientific Process to conduct a physiology experiment in P.E.
