7th-Update - April 12 -16

Hi,
***10 WEEKS OF SCHOOL TO GO***
Is your child all caught up?
Do they have all the necessary materials?
Ready to learn?

Please check WEB GRADES: http://www.lmsvsd.k12.ca.us/schools/pkm/webgrade.html

**HOMEWORK/ PROJECT THIS WEEK -- "I AM JOE'S..." - HUMAN ORGAN WRITE-UP - DUE NEXT MONDAY, APRIL 19TH"
We are working on this in class this week. Please check with your child that they are on track to finish.

HERE IS THE INFORMATION HANDOUT:
Your Body Part: __________________

These articles were always written from the perspective of Joe or Jane's body part. They would begin something like this:

"I’m certainly no beauty. I weigh 12 ounces, am red-brown in color, and have an unimpressive shape. I am the dedicated slave of —well, let’s call him Joe. Joe is 45, ruggedly good-looking, has a pretty wife, three children and an excellent job. Joe has made it. I am Joe’s Heart…”

You will need to learn what you can about the body part of “Joe” or “Jane”you have chosen to become.
Find out everything you possibly can about that body part:

Size, Shape
Color

Where it is in the body
What system is it part of?
Function/ Job
Other parts or systems it works with
Diseases/ Problems

Write your article in the first person narrative style. As if you are that body part and you are telling the reader about your life as a body part.

Rough Draft/ Notes:
Size, shape, physical description:
Color:
Where it is in the body?
What system is it part of?

What is the Function/ Job? What does it do?

Other body organs/ parts or systems it works with or depends on?

Diseases/ Problems?
