Tomorrow: Reading Comprehension Exam and Social Studies Projects!

Hola class! Some of you did not take your oral exam today, so be prepared to take it tomorrow!

If you want to start preparing for your reading comprehension exam, here are the two stories you will be reading. Here is an article about the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Remember when we watched the video of the sun? If you don't, you can watch the video and see pictures of the sun on the National Geographic Website or on the Solar Dynamics Observatory website.

The other article is from the Hubble Telescope Website. Click here to find it.

You will have to answer multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and then make a Venn Diagram, a timeline, or a Cause and Effect chart about what you read. I will tell you tomorrow. (It's a surprise!)

DON'T FORGET! Your World Cup Presentations are tomorrow afternoon! Make sure you have the following:
A Poster with...
1.A map of the country
2.a picture of the flag
3.a picture of the team
4.A list of the best players on the team and their positions
5.The language of the country
6.The type of government and economy the country has
7.Famous landforms or places in the country
8.The most popular food in the country
9.The religions of the country
10.How to say “Hello” in that country.

Your presentation should be short. Tell us about the team and the country. Do not read to us from a website like Wikipedia. The presentations will be Wednesday, June 9th, and will be part of your final grade for social studies. You need to explain your poster and tell us about the team and country.
