Jewels of the Silk Road

Make an Alphabet Book for China - instructions and information here.  Cut and paste this URL into the browser window, it is too long to link from my page.      http://www.newton.mec.edu/Angier/DimSum/ABC%20Book%20Lesson.html

 

Science

Research frost bite - do a search on web MD and tell how you get it, what it does to you, and how you should treat it.

 

Get a digital photo of yourself from your network folder or on a disk in class.  Go to the Kodak site. Go to "Play" then, "You Animal You".   Go to the bottom of the page and click on "upload new pictures".  A pop-up menu will come up and ask you for log-in.  Use "dhogan" and password "rm712".  THEN......Follow the directions on the site.  Choose animal that you like.   Then, morph your digital photo into an animal, then write a short narrative about your life as that animal.  Your grade will be based on the factual information that you include in your mini-report, such as "My Life as a Tiger".
