Missing Assignments
I will give you another 20 minutes today to finish up missing assignments. In 20 minutes, we will get a new seating chart and begin the lesson below. Don’t start that lesson until you get your new seating chart.
Population
We are going to spend a few days this week talking about population. That might sound like a boring topic, but it actually is pretty interesting. Today we need to build a little background knowledge though. You are going to find definitions and pictures for some of the words we will be discussing over the next couple of days.
You need to go to Google Classroom and open the Population Vocabulary assignment. Use the internet to find the definitions. The easiest way to do this is to go to Google and type, “define and then the word you are looking for” for example: for Birth Rate, I would go to google and type, “define birth rate”. Google would give me the definition. All of the definitions today are in reference to human population. That’s the topic we are talking about so make sure that your definitions make sense with the topic.
On each slide, you need to find a picture that represents the vocabulary word. I did the first one for you as an example. I typed the definition for “population” and then I found a picture online that represented it. The world population is now over 7 billion people. You need to do the same thing on the remaining slides. On some of the slides, I’ve already inserted pictures for you, but you still need to find the definitions. On most slides you will need to type the definition and find a picture on the internet that is an example of the word. When you finish, every slide will have a definition and a picture on it.
Whenever you finish, turn it in.
States, Capitals, and Postal Abbreviations Test
Whenever you finish, it would be a great idea to study for your States, Capitals, and Postal Abbreviations test. That test will be next week.
It will be broken into 3 parts:
- Identify the states on a map
- Match the state with the capital
- Match the state with the Postal Abbreviations
You can either work on the study guide that is on the desk in the front or go to my class links and use 1 of the 3 links under the States, Capitals, and Postal Abbreviations section.
