See what you can find out about this impressive piece of construction. Why was it built? How long is it? How long did it take to complete it? How many emperors were involved with its construction? What do you think a soldier's life was like when posted on the wall?
Hey guys, remember how we were talking about the circulatory system? Well, I have some things for you to check out on the web. First, go check out what anemia is, and post a comment about what you found out. Then, go check out sickle cell anemia and post a comment about what you learned. Next, look up hemophilia. What is the issue for people who have hemophilia? Post what you found out about this rare condition. Last, see what you can find out about red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood plasma. Make some notes about these things and post one thing that is different than what other classmates post.So, how can you talk about poetry? Well, you might need a few basic poetry terms like stanza, rhyming scheme or pattern, beat, and mood. Check on the definitions of these words so you can discuss poetry within your family. Then discuss things like what is the purpose of this poem? What is the message this poem is trying to deliver? What kinds of figurative language does the poet use? Poetry often alludes to something completely different than the subject of the poem, does this poem do that? If so, what subject is actually being discussed? How do you know? Did you like the poem? What did you like? Did you dislike the poem? What did you dislike? What does your family think? Remember to use the vocabulary listed above to talk about the poems, then you'll sound like a real academic!
I am hoping that this will be a place where I can answer general questions and post information on various topics that are currently be covered in the curriculum. So, if this page works correctly you should be able to post questions or comments. Just remember, anyone who comes to visit can see what you have written.
