Today is Tuesday, November 15, 2016. One last reminder to figure out your Compass Learning situation. This week is all about inferences. Therefore, your Compass Learning Assignments are on inferences and drawing conclusions. Again, there are a few students who have not finished last week's Compass Learning on plot. "Plot 1" was the assignment last week. All of your Compass Learning assignments are due this Friday so I hope you take them seriously and do your best.
This week's TED Talk is kind of long, but I hope that you find it interesting. It actually is mentioned in the "Inference 1" in your Compass Learning assignment. It is about animal behavior and how some researchers may have discovered that some animals understand "fairness". Anytime something naturally occurs in the wild I am fascinated. I hope you are as well. We probably will not get a chance to view it today in class, but we will probably get to view it as a center this Thursday.
On a final note, I have been promising another RAFTS writing opportunity. The RAFTS writing for today is directly connected to events that are taking place in Esperanza Rising. Esperanza and her family are faced with a heart-wrenching decision. Most of their things were lost in the fire, but now they may have to leave Aguascalientes forever. Below is the RAFTS writing for today. Have fun and enjoy!
R- you
A- class
F- list with explanation paragraphs
