Online Learning Day 22 – Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020

English
In English, we have been learning about alliteration. This technique is
sometimes used to write poems. It is also a form of figurative language.
Figurative language is an Element of Poetry.

Today you will finish writing your own Alphabet Alliteration poem.
Each line of this poem will match with a letter of the alphabet. Today,
let’s focus on the last 4 letters – W, X, Y and Z.

The form (rule) for each line of this poem is:


Adjective Noun Verb

So, for example, the line of my poem for the letter Z might be:

Zazzy zebras zipped by my window

*Notice that I added words to the end of the sentence, so that the
meaning of the sentence is clearer. This is ok to do.

Remember:

An adjective is a describing word. It describes a noun.

A noun is a person, place, thing or animal.

A verb is an action word.


Activity
Write the last 4 lines of your alliteration poem. Line 23 should use
words that begin with the letter W, Line 24 should use words that begin
with the letter X, Line 25 should use words that begin with the letter Y
and line 26 should use words that begin with the letter Z. It might be
difficult to come up with an adjective, a noun, and a verb for each of
these letters. I encourage you to be creative and create your own
words, if need be.

Each line must follow the rule: adjective, noun, verb

Math
Please note: This lesson is meant to be completed over the course of 2
days (Tuesday and Wednesday), so there is no need to rush through all
the online activities. Students are encouraged to take their time and
not spend too much time in front of the screen.
It is important that we understand how to read a multiplication
sentence and how to explain what each number in the sentence
represents. For example, let’s think about the following multiplication
sentence:

7 X 6 = 42

• This multiplication sentence tells us that there are 7 groups (or


rows) of items with 6 items in each group (or row). Altogether,
there are 42 items.
• We also know that 7 and 6 are factors (the numbers we are
multiplying), and 42 is the product (the total).
Once you understand how multiplication works however, it can be
helpful to memorize your times tables, so that you can quickly recall
answers when using multiplication throughout your everyday life.

Above you can see the times tables for factors up to ten. Memorizing
these times tables can be very helpful in solving everyday math
problems, such as figuring out how many packages of Halloween candy
you will need for all your friends.

Activity

Today, I would like you to practice your times tables by completing the
times tables activity that I have assigned to you on Mathletics.
You can also visit the website below for more times tables practice.
Follow the 5 steps for each times table to get your very own diploma!
Be sure to ask permission from a parent or guardian first!

Drama
Last week, you learned how to play the game Charades. I hope you had
fun acting out different scenes with your family! Today, I would like to
see what you’ve learned! Below is a list of 5 different scenes (or
situations). I want you to practice acting out each scene. Remember,
when you play Charades, you cannot talk. You can only use actions and
facial expressions to express your character, their actions, and their
feelings (some sound effects are ok).
After you have tried acting out all 5 scenes, log in to your student
account on Seesaw and complete today’s activity.
You will need to pick your favourite scenario and ask a parent or
guardian to help you to video tape you acting it out on Seesaw. Upload
your video to Seesaw and I will try and guess which scene you picked!
Possible scenes:
• Building a snowman outside in the cold (you need to show me that
you’re feeling cold)
• The big, bad wolf blowing down the house of a little pig
• A brave surfer, surfing the largest wave in the ocean
• A nervous student writing a very hard test
• An angry pirate searching for gold
Science
In Science, we have been learning about food/energy chains. Last week
we looked at a couple of different food/energy chains and learned
about how energy is transferred from the sun to plants and then to
animals. Today, I would like to give you some more practice with
food/energy chains.
Activity
Please log in to your student account on Seesaw and complete the
activity that I have assigned to you. Begin by drawing a sun at the
beginning of each food/energy chain (you may use an emoji instead, if
you wish). Next label each plant and animal in the first two food chains.
Then, complete the final food/energy chain by moving the 5 emojis at
the bottom of the screen into the correct position. Finally, record
yourself explaining where the plants and animals are getting their
energy.
