Now to review landforms and learn about the earth!

3. What is erosion?  

Here is a fun video about volcanos.

Volcanos

Get a sheet of paper and fold it into fourths.  Write the main idea at the top.  In each of the four squares write the four types of volcanos.  Draw an illustration of each and describe what that volcano is like.  Order the volcanos from the least dangerous to the most dangerous.  On the back tell why you think some people choose to live areas close to volcanos and whether or not you think this is a good idea.  Be sure to write 4-5 good sentences that explain your ideas clearly.  Use correct spelling and vocabulary!

How about reading a myth?

Click on the link to read a myth.  Try reading it with the sound turned off or listen and follow along.

Arachne the Spinner

In the story the author says that Arachne was "arrogant."  What is a third grade synonym for this word?  Find one using the  Thesaurus.  Look for an antonym as well.  You can use this link for your assignment:

Arachne the Spinner extended response

Or, take a sheet of paper and fold it in fourths.  You will be using the front and the back.  On the front, number the sections 1-4.  Tell the important events from the story using a complete sentence and a picture.   Then write your synonym and antonym for the word arrogant and tell why Arachne was arrogant.  In the next two, choose a word that the author used to describe Athena.  This is a characteristic!  Use the Thesaurus link to find a synonym and antonym for your word.  Write your words in the last two sections and tell how this is a characteristic of Athena.

Now watch Arachne spinning her web!  Do you suppose this story is where the word "arachnid" came from ?

I hope you had fun learning today!
