We began to learn about writing a newspaper article. We know that newspaper articles are written in paragraphs and are about real life issues and events that have either happened or are going to happen. Articles are business like and not flowery and descriptive. They also contain quotes from people involved in some way. We did a group write of an article about the 2016 Fort McMurray flood using given information. We then worked to write our own articles with a partner using the same information.
In math we are writing the coordinates for the buildings on our blueprint and are calculating the area and perimeter of our buildings using a formula for the square and rectangle shaped buildings.
We had time to write about the essential buildings we have chosen to include in our lunar colonies and supported our choices with specific reasons.
