Today flew by, and we're looking forward to a great weekend! In Language Arts, we worked in our groups to complete our huge collages of aspects of life in the '60s. They're beautiful, and we had fun researching and finding pictures on our computers. Even though the pictures are black and white, we found interesting ways to add touches of color. They will be on display in our first floor hallway in the coming week. Enjoy!
In Social Studies, we compared and reviewed the geography of Europe and Russia. Everyone has a study guide and outline to study from for Tuesday's quiz.
D.A.R.E. class was interesting today. Officer Strain began with a review of last week's lesson about the contents of tobacco. He then showed us how companies advertise the product to convince young people to start smoking. We studied a few ads to find the messages they were sending us, and how they strategically arranged the ads to draw our eyes to what they most wanted us to see. We also applied the first steps of the D.A.R.E. model to resist peer pressure in regards to smoking. Finally, we moved on to learn a little bit about marijuana and how it affects those who smoke.
The computer is going off and on, so the homework I typed has gone. Aren't you glad I made everyone write in their agendas? Don't forget to share your Progress Reports!
