The first thing we did was our Do Now which today was about the dam they are wanting to create in the Xingu River  near Altamira, Brazil. After reading it and answering the questions on the back:


























      Later on Ms.V asked us to discuss how this could relate to the book we are currently reading, The city of Ember.


    After  sharing our opinions and discussing we started practing our words and connected with pictures. There were some pictures in our desks and we had to know which one fits with what word in our vocab.
Here are some photos of our class working very well:




    After 5 minutes Ms.V showed us all the pictures and called on people to answer what they and their partner thought that word was.  I would like to share something from what Leilani said , when Ms.V was showing a maze photo everybody was saying labyrinth but Leilani said it could be flustered. She then explained that if somebody is new or doesn't know the daily routine she could get confused and doesn't know what to do.
  

   After this we went to quiz quiz trade! We started with one word and then we have to come to other people and quiz them our word if we get it right we trade. 


Then, Ms.Vallillo gaves us time to read The city of Ember. 

Homework: No homework for today!

Now we started doing the Image Analysis. The Images were basically about the Economics. Also capitalism. I heard some people saying that the picture relates to technology because of the last picture. In Image Analysis, you write what you can see in the picture, what u think the picture means and some questions of the picture.

After analysis with the class about the images, we started to read our close reading which was about economy. As always, we started out by asking questions about the question. For example: what is a free market, what is capitalism etc. The reading was basically about free marketing,and economy. They also explained what free marketing was and what economy was. Then we discussed about what free marketing and economy was with the class and partner.
