6/8 The Aral Sea: Cause and Effect through 6/10

Whenever you need help, please ask for it.

Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

• analyze text.
• identify cause - effect relationships.
• understand how physical geography influences people and economic activity around the Aral Sea.

Why?

• To better understand the world around you.
• To develop your reading skills.
• To develop your critical thinking skills.

1.  With another near you, discuss - in your own words - why you are in social studies today (see above). 2 minutes

NOTE: Whenever you are waiting for Mr.d'E or others so you can complete a next step, appropriately comment on other students blogs: Give a compliment; respond to something specific (what did it make you think, do you agree/disagree - why), extend the conversation (add a relevant question; share what other ideas came to your mind as you read the post); do NOT critique their writing/thoughts. You may ALSO reply appropriately to comments left on your blog posts.

2.  You have practiced the last two days and have been exposed to how physical geography effects people/settlement and economic activity through much of the year.      2 minutes

3. Follow the Aral Sea directions in Google Classroom.       50 minutes for two days

4. Speak with Mr.d'E when you have finished your work and turned it in appropriately.

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"

Ask them.......

• What has been going on with the Aral Sea? Why?
