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 
  • understand how people in Ghana adapt their farming using insects as a food source.
  • write a summary
  • manipulate information about standard of living.

    Why?
    • To practice identifying main ideas.
    • To synthesize information into a brief account.
    • To see the connection between human and physical geography.

    1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).   1 minute

    2.  You are picking up where you left off with yesterday's directions.
    • Finish reading the article in chunk and identifying main ideas in the two-column notes (this should be already done). Go to Google Classroom. Complete the summary assignment there.          10 minutes
    3. Make a copy of the Frayer model linked here. Use the folder icon next to the doc title to move it to your social studies folder. Complete the Frayer.        10 minutes

    • Click on the three vertical dots next to the title of your map, and choose "embed on my site."
