eg. Commerce and Indusry
-Service Industries, Manufacturing Industries, Major Companies, Industrial Regions, Tourism, Major Products etc...

e.g.Natural Resources+ Crops

Mr. Buxton you used a conjuntive adverb sentence.

Mary Grace Parker said...

Mr.Buxton, I am starting the 3D project. When it says to type up your info. on an index card, does it matter what size the index card is because I have a fairly big one and a normal one that you write your vocabulary on. Is there a limit on how big the index card is, and if there is, will points be decducted?

I think I have my notes done and enough notes can we start our power plan and then change it if we have something wrong or wrong notes?

Mr. Buxton can I do the fun facts?

Unknown said...

Sarah - yes
Charlie H - yes

MG - Make sure your P2 are 'major' tourist attractions... caverns, watersprings etc.. sound like p3s instead of p2s... can you devise a categories that are more general.. e.g. outdoor activties etc

Maddie Weber said...

should we prepare in any way other than the state report things for school????

Juliana

Mary Grace Parker said...

Mr.Buxton,
I think you got my question confused with someone elses. I asked if it mattered what size of index card I used. Sorry if there was some confusion!

- M.G.

Mary Grace Parker said...

To anyone,
my mom says I need a restate sentence, but didn't Mr.Buxton tell us we did not need one? Also, on Robert's he does not have on either.
Thanks.

- M.G.

Juliana said...

Juliana

Unknown said...

Sarah N. said...

Were you talking to me or MG about the P2s and P3s

Mr. Buxton,

Are the state websites on the blog??? Plus my power 2's for tourist attractions are Garden of God, Pikes Peak, and i have not decided what else to do but should i do like waterparks and list pacific ones in my power 3's, or is it ok to do the power 2's pacific and talk about them in my power 3's???????????

McCarthy

CarolineMackey said...

Mr. Buxton,

I was watching tv and I saw the host of the show use a SSS technique.

Juliana said...

McCarthy, I think your power 2's are too specific. Also, Caroline I was watching a show where the person said a Not only+ but also. And finally, would good power 2 topics be:

-Indoor
-Water
-Outdoor

Well, like indoor activities.

~Juliana

®¥@₦ $. said...

i bet because mr b said that was what i needed to do for my tourist attractions

CarolineMackey said...

What was the math hw for the Buxtons again??

Juliana?

Juliana said...

You have to:

-Finish Chapter 7 Review
AND
-Chapter 7 Pretest but only pages 330 + 331

Also, McCarthy if you want to find the state report links you go to Mr. Buxton's archive and it'll say state report links or something with state report. Or you can go to mylatin click academics 5th grade and computer lab.

CarolineMackey said...

Thanks a ton Juliana!!!! :)

I though Mrs. Graham told the class that was in the classroom that if we hadn't have to do the chapter review. If we were in the multiplication group she said it was fine if we don't do it. Isn't that correct?
Abigail

Juliana said...

Well, I don't know that's just what Mrs. Moore told me.

Mary Grace Parker said...

Paige, the revolutiony war kinda relates to each state that fought it in, but you could use it. If there is another event that happened IN your state, I would use that one.
