What has the American Section been working on at home? Well, for the first part of our distance learning, we wrote journal responses, learned how to improve our word choices in creative writing, and also learned how to write like a scientist!
We studied different examples of ecosystems and food chains to hone our skills at comparing, contrasting, and synthesizing information. At the end of the unit, each student chose a different biome and compared two different ecosystems within that biome. Then, we each made a slideshow presentation using our individual research. Not only was it a great way to use what we had learned and to practice writing bibliographies to avoid plagiarism, but our teacher also learned a lot from us!
