This week, we pick up where we left off and chisel away at the following:
-Creative Writing: The Outsiders newspaper article: we begin by looking at the text features and writing style of actual newspaper articles before we apply these same principles to our assignment.
-Math: we look at Integers (gains & losses) in real-world applications i.e. weather, sports, speed, banking, landform elevation and showcase it.
-History: we begin exploring The First People (Aboriginals) & European exploration/colonization in early Canada.
-Science: we wrap up Separating Mixtures units by looking at evaporation, distillation, purifying, and refinement.
Newspaper Success Criteria we discussed when analyzing article text features:

Real-world integers sample:
Some things to note from math shown above:
(+) positive + (+) positive = more positive
(-) negative + (-) negative = more negative
(+) positive + (-) negative = less positive
(-) negative + (+) positive = less negative
(+) positive - (+) positive = negative
(+) positive - (-) negative = more positive
(-) negative - (+) positive = more negative
Besides temperature, consider showcasing any of the following to illustrate positive & negative:
-banking debits/withdrawl (-) vs credits/deposits (+)
-elevator up/down floors
-land elevation below sea level (-), above sea level (+)
-airplane ascending (+), descending (-)
-speedometer accelerating (+), deceleration (-)
-football gaining yards on a play (+), losing yards on a play (-)
-salary/tax increments over years (+) 2% every year or reductions (-) over the years
BE SURE TO SHOW THE MATH, BE SURE TO USE THE APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
