Homework #37 due November 27

Click here and Read more about forms-of-energy

Energy comes in two basic forms: potential and kinetic:

Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

Kinetic Energy is found in movement. For example: An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting each have kinetic energy. Even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity is the kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.

Homework 37 - Follow some steps:

First, observe some types of energy in different places at home, school and in streets;

Second, identify which form of energy it is (5 or more).

Third, write a brief explanation to tell why you think the energy is potential or kinetic.

Last, draw pictures to illustrate your examples;

Use a chart to organize your work.

Forms of Potential Energy	Draw a picture for your explanation	Forms of Kinetic Energy	Draw a picture for your explanation

Homework #35 – Facts and Exaggeration – Characteristics of tall tales

Dear student, your job this week is to find five facts or more about different subjects. Ask your parents for help if needed. Then make a PowerPoint presentation, save it in a pen drive or you can do it in your own iPad. You must present your work to your classmates next Monday. Don’t forget to tell the source (where you found the facts).

One slide for the fact and another slide for the exaggeration and funny stuff.

As in tall tales, you must exaggerate the facts. See the examples below.

Fact (real, true or regular news):

Corinthians extended their lead at the top of Brazil's Serie A standings with a 3-2 victory over fellow title contenders Palmeiras.

Source: http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/corinthians-beat-palmeiras-extend-lead-in-brazil-serie-a-117110600300_1.html

Exaggeration (stretched truth, exaggerated and funny):

Palmeiras' fans got sad. They were crying rivers for the loss! Yesterday was the end of the drama. The Brazilian Championship reached the final straight Corinthians host Palmeiras in Sao Paulo last Sunday, November 5^th.

It was a long race to the finish, but Corinthians finally beat Palmeiras. In the end Palmeiras’ fans, even the poor farm pigs across the country, couldn’t stop crying. Anyways, they are all brave and will come back soon! “We will come back!”, they said.

Homework #34 due November 6

Homework #34 – Write your own Tall Tale – You are the narrator – plus 5 characters.

Name: __________________________________________________________________

Date: ___________________________________________________________________

This Monday we sketched and outlined story elements to write our own tall tales - our homework this week. Use the sketch you did in class then do your homework. Tall tales convey the status of a situation or an event. These stories have unbelievable elements and are related to actual events. For example, fish stories: “The fish that got away" (fact). "That fish was so big that it nearly sank the boat when I pulled it in!" (exaggeration). Paul Bunyan, for example, is a lumberjack in American folklore. He is a giant who cut down trees and was known for his strength, speed and skill. The tall tale of Paul Bunyan is believed to be based on a real person — a French-Canadian logger named Fabian "Joe" Fournier. In short, a tall tale is a story about a character who is larger than life.

Use your sketch to write your own Tall Tale, and then illustrate the scenes of your story.

Example of a sketch – similar to the one done in class
Fact or actual event (real)	Funny stuff and exaggerations	Sequence of events	Characters and settings	Problems that must be solved in a funny way.
“My family and I once went fishing. I got a fish but it went away. It just escaped. At the end I got one and brought it home."	"That fish was so big that it nearly sank the boat when I pulled it in!" I got some giant fish and I bought home in the end. They are all in the neighborhood for visitors.”	1 Family sets up a day to go fishing; 2 They drive and have a nice talk on the way 3 They arrive in a river first and then to the ocean; 4 Family can speak fish language. They start catching fish and fish school swim away to escape; 5 Some angry fish get mad at the family; the visitors; 6 They all argue but become friends shake hands, and become neighbors in the end.	Ocean, river, neighborhood, city, the countryside and a car. Fisherman and his kids, their dogs and the talking fish who moved from the ocean to live on land.	Because we got the fish, his friends were all mad with us, but in the end, they all came to live out of water in the neighborhood, in a park near by my house. We are now good friends.
