Weekend Homework

Hi class!

Your homework this weekend is this:
1. Read an online workshop about writing poems, and then write a poem. This is due on Monday.
2. Do a social studies project about an explorer. This is due Tuesday.

All the information is on the blog!

Language Arts Homework: Write a Poem
Please go to this website: http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/poetry/karla_home.htm. It is called "Poetry Writing with Karla." Read the first page, and then press "Start." Read through all the pages until you get to "Publish Online." If you want to, you may publish your poem online, but you do not need to. I just want you to write a poem in your notebook. It is due on Monday.

Social Studies Project DUE TUESDAY!

Your social studies project is harder. You need to make a little book about an explorer. Your book needs to have:
1. A picture of the explorer
2. A map of where the explorer went
3. A timeline of the explorer's life
4. A page with 10 facts about the explorer. DO NOT COPY ANYTHING FROM THE INTERNET!
5. The flag that was on the explorer's ship. (For example, Christopher Columbus was Italian, but he sailed for Spain, so he had a Spanish flag on his ship.)
For extra credit: You can include a picture of the ship that the explorer used for extra credit.

Here are the names of your explorers:
Luisa: Vasco Nunez de Balboa
Antonia: Juan Ponce de Leon
Kent: Walter Raleigh
Juan Manuel: Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet France
Juan Luis: : James Cook
Juan Felipe: Fernao Mendes Pinto
Martina: Francisco Pizarro
Nathalia: Vasco da Gama
Laura: Bartolomeu Diaz
Sofia: Marco Polo
Manuela M.: Ferdinand Magellan
