ELA Learning Target: 
Today you will pick a topic for the Learning Fair project.
                        
Do Now: 
1. Write down your homework
2. Go to page 78

Homework:
  • Start getting materials for Learning Fair Project
    • Trifold Presentation Board 
    • Boxes
    • Decorative tape
    • Letter stencils or stickers
    • Special Markers or Paints
    • Other items specific to your model

Activity #1
Pick a Topic
&
Find Resources

Directions:
Use our online databases to find & Save in your google drive at least 2 - 3 articles about your environmental issue. 

You must also use the internet to find 2 - 3 Web Pages.

You want the resources to discuss: 
  • the topic
  • the Problem/Issue
  • the Causes, or Pro's
  • the Effects, or Con's
  • the Solutions

Your resources should be from trusted sources like National Geographic, NY Times, Washington Post, Scholastic, etc. You want your articles and web pages to contain scientific data and statistics. When you assemble your project, keep in mind that you will need to include at least one chart, graph, or diagram. Your articles should not be:
  • blogs
  • lists
  • debates
  • opinions
  • etc.

When you find an article that you think is good, you should Send it to your google Drive. 

To get to the databases: (Go through Clever - Library)

Go to Mrs. Bostick's Library Page through Clever

Under Newspapers & magazines  you can use any of those databases, but I would try:
New (Gale Onefile)
Kids infobits

Next Step: 
Once you have 4 - 6 resources you will use the "Gathering Info" graphic organizer to record important information for your research essay and project. Read each article & use one graphic organizer per article. Be sure to record all the important information from your article onto the graphic organizer, including:
- Title of the article
- Name of the resource, or Web page
- Important Info

You are specifically looking for information that will help you explain:
  • The Problem/Issue
  • The Causes (or the Pros)
  • The Effects (or the Cons)
  • The Solutions
