Assignment: On a blank sheet of paper, I want you to summarize your favorite movie. Tell me ONLY the most important details. Remember, this is a summary not a review. I want to know what the movie was about, not why you liked it. (REMEMBER YOUR QUESTIONS FROM THE VIDEO!)

5. Social Studies Warm-Up-Answer the following question in your Norman Social Studies Google doc.

Do you think that it's right for explorers to come to another country and take stuff? What about the people that already live in these countries? How do you feel about them? Explain your answers.

Your map should include:

7. Enrichment-In One Letter, you must start with a simple word. Then, you create clues that force the player to change one letter in each word to make a new word. If you do it correctly, the first will be the same as the last word. Here's a good example of a set:

LAKE

________ not on time

________ despise

________ head coverings

________ punches

________ small pieces

________ do with your teeth

________ ride this

In groups of at least two, try to create at least two awesome One Letter sets.
