Tuesday

Theodore is riding an ant under a bridge in France. He loves the ants in France
because they can walk on water. He also LOVES to eat and France has delicious
pastries and breads and cheeses.

Students will be able to digitally crop a picture of themselves into a bridge picture. Students will be able to creatively write about what they are doing in the picture.

1. Find your bridge picture and full length picture of yourself.

4. Upload to your blog and creatively write about where you are and what you are doing on the bridge.
5. When  you are COMPLETELY done, help someone else.

Wednesday
Students will be able to identify the types of bridges in their pictures using information gathered in an earlier class. Students will be able to successfully create a venn diagram of the information in the picture and the information in the description provided.

1. Using the information in front of you (will be randomly assigned by Mrs. Rose) fill out the venn diagram sheet (paper or digital) to show similarities vs differences of the picture and description we completed yesterday.
2. Check with Mrs. Rose and start designing your bridge!

Thursday
Students will begin to construct bridges according to the design submitted and materials requested.
