  4. If we don't have one that would be AWESOME!!!! Though it's probably just because of state reports.

    ~Juliana

    P.S. In that complex sentence I don't know where to put the comma.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Juliana- Dependent clause 1st , comma, independent clause

    independent clause 1st, no comma, dependent clause.

  21. abbie, it depends if you want to put who asked the question or not. if you do want to put who asked the question, no question mark. if you don't, question mark

  35. Mr Buxton,
    Just so I can think ahead for one of my paragraphs I'm doing is a historical event and I was wondering if I could do to historical events? There is two major ones I want to talk about.
    Abigail

    ReplyDelete
  36. Flynn, why are you doing animals as one of your power twos. It doesn't really have much to do with GEOGRAPHICAL features. (or does it?)

    Juliana

    ReplyDelete
  37. Flyyn,

    InStead Of BodIes of water, do like major cities of some thing else. U shud du it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Flynn if you decide to not do animals you could see if your state has any sub regions. Then some how you could get a power two out of there.
    Abigail

    ReplyDelete
  39. animals isnt a geo feature maybe you could break down landforms into mountains and something else depending what your state is

    ReplyDelete

  46. Can we do climate as a power two?

    Juliana

    ReplyDelete
  47. Abbie, I think this would be one but I'm not sure because my notes are not in front of me.:

    The Smith War and The Johnson War took place in 1929 and 1937 respectively.

    (Just guessing)
    Juliana

    ReplyDelete
  48. Mr buxton told me just to put it into my power 3's somehow
    Abigail

    ReplyDelete
  49. Abbie- no. you must focus on just one... don't make more work for yourself.

    flynn- stay away rom animal...remember...a person should be able to draw a 3D diagram of the geographical features of your state based only on your paragraphs

    MC describe a geography picture in your state book using sensory language

    respectively SSS was perfect Jul +1

    now..take a break from work all of you and relax...;-)

    ReplyDelete
