Writing about the World

Dear Students,

This weekend, practice your note-taking skills.

Write at least 3 jot notes on the city or country you selected as part of Room 16's world map and bulletin board display called "Tracing our Roots."

Remember, jot notes can be written as incomplete sentences without periods or capitalization, includes important facts, details and/or words.

For example, my maternal (mother's) grandparents are from the country Poland.
Poland
-national language is Polish
-maps.gif
-population over 38 million people
-Warsaw is the capital city (and largest)

Continue thinking about the connections, similarities and differences between Canada and the countries where our parents and/or grandparents are from. For more information on Canada, check out this website: http://www.craigmarlatt.com/canada/index.html#home.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

From,
Ms. Perlmutter
