Reading Journal:  The reading journals will be formatted differently for the next few books. Reading and IEW will parallel one another as we explore story elements: setting, characters, plot (conflict and resolution) and themes. The journal will not have specific pages corresponding with each chapter. Students should complete any sections that pertain to the daily reading assignment.

Science presentation: All students are required to prepare a brief science report to present to the class on Thursday, September 28.  They can pick any topic in chapters 1-3. I will encourage the class to choose a variety of topics. Student should consider the following as they prepare: what they learned, what intrigued them, how this impacts our lives, and why they think God chose to design our world this way. The presentation needs to include at least 3 thoughtful sentences.  Students should write the sentences down on note cards or a piece of paper which will be turned in afterwards. They will be allowed to use their cards/paper during the presentation but should practice looking up after each sentence. They may bring a visual aid if desired. This will be a test grade. Two presentation examples are given below:

Tides: I have been to the beach and love playing in the ocean that comes up on the beach. I learned that the reason the ocean comes up on the beach is because of tides. Low tides and high tides are caused by the moon and the earth moving. The movements of the earth and moon change how the moon’s gravity pulls on the ocean’s water. That changes the amount of water that flow onto the beach. I think that it is amazing how God made the moon effect the oceans on Earth.

Killer Whales: Killer whales are my favorite animal. They are really called orcas. Orcas live in family groups their whole lives. They are amazing hunters. They are also very smart. Many orcas are trained to perform tricks at shows. I’m surprised that these hunters can be so friendly to humans. Orcas are wonderful!
