WATER POLLUTION: www.brainpop.com/science/ourfragileenvironment/waterpollution/

INTRO TO GLOBAL WARMING: https://www.brainpop.com/science/earthsystem/climatechange/ Students complete vocabulary during video. Then intro Al Gore: https://www.brainpop.com/science/earthsystem/climatechange/relatedreading/ Newsela: https://newsela.com/read/arctic-seed-vault/id/31001/ Apply: How could the scientific development or research in the article be used to affect life for individuals or for a community? Explain using two details from the text.
I can deepen my understanding of climate change through a shared reading of an Inconvenient Truth.
​http://www.eschooltoday.com/climate-change/Introduction-to-climate-change-for-children.html ​ http://climatekids.nasa.gov/climate-change-meaning/ http://www.explainthatstuff.com/globalwarmingforkids.html Intro to reducing carbon footprint: http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm#
GREAT LINKS FOR LEARNING MORE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING & REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINTS:  http://meetthegreens.pbskids.org/   http://climatekids.nasa.gov/   Science- http://meetthegreens.pbskids.org/features/carbon-calculator.html   http://www.clean-air-kids.org.uk/globalwarming.html

​ INTRO TO INCONVENIENT TRUTH: Intro to An Inconvenient Truth—what do you think title means? Students will:

Learn about global warming, evidence for global warming and climate changes. Consider what may constitute sufficient evidence of global warming. Learn what impact global warming may have on our lives. Gain experience in research using the internet. Essential questions: What evidence is there that the earth is actually warming up? What might be causing any global warming? What effect might global warming have on the earth’s inhabitants?
REFLECT AND RESPOND WITH TURN AND TALK PARTNER: Can you explain what Mr. Gore is trying to say through the saying: What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know but it’s what we know for sure but just ain’t so?” Can you think of examples in real life where you can apply this thread of thought?


Why do you think this chapter is called “Silent Alarm?” Focus on text features and images. Pages 18-19—sun rising. Why do you think the author does this? What about pages 20-21? Why are industrial polluter images mostly yellow and black? What does the graph-chart teach us? Why is it included? What is the inhale account? How can you put this in your own words? DO INTERACTIVE READING OF CHAPTER 2. Students should summarize important info (by paraphrasing). Make sure kids can identify what greenhouse gases are in their own words. Clarify any new vocabulary words with definitions. Questions that are confusing and come up with your own high order thinking question with your thoughts.

Social Studies-Civil Rights: I can learn more about the legacy and lasting impact of Brown vs. the Board of Education by envisioning how schools, my life and the lives of other students would be different had the Supreme Court not ruled against segregation in 1954 and by using a RAN chart to help guide my new learning.

READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE AND ADD ON TO YOUR NEW LEARNING AND WONDERING ABOUT BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION: 
www.pbs.org/newshour/education/linda-brown-central-figure-in-school-segregation-case-dies
​
THEN REFLECT: WHAT IS THE LASTING LEGACY OF BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION?
TO REVIEW TRANSCRIPT-VIDEO OF BROWN VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION:
www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/ushistory/brownvsboardofeducationoftopeka/

Picture

REFLECT AND RESPOND TO THE ARTICLE:
How do you think Brown stands as an example of how young children can transform their country?
How do you think the family remained so courageous and united?
​Ifill said the case was not easy for the Brown family, but that “her sacrifice broke barriers and changed the meaning of equality in this country.” Can you think of other young people who have demonstrated the importance of equality and other values Linda Brown possessed?
Now: if you were using mood meter to assess how you were feeling as you read about this case, what words would you use and why?
​

AS YOU RESPOND TO BLACK AND WHITE, As you read about this song, how do you feel and why?
How do you think the songwriters felt when they wrote the song and why?

Black & White
Three Dog Night:
The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black
A child is white
A whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight
And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black
A child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of liberty
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black
A child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and the by night
A child id black
A child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light

Tonight, you will write your own  poem (doesn’t have to rhyme) in response to song. Or you may create a short story, drawing that captures the message of Black and White and Brown vs. the Board of Education.
