Hello 6th Graders! :)
Job this morning:
Research each of the physical features we studied and find advantages (the good things) and disadvantages (the bad things) about living by/in/on these physical features. Make a bulleted list of things that you find. You should have some listed under each category, but there might not be the same number under each category. (For example, I might have 5 under advantages and only 1 under disadvantages.)
**Example: The mountains are absolutely beautiful to live by (advantage) but difficult to build in (disadvantage).
How to record your answers:
Record your answers on lined paper. I would make a T-chart. Draw a line down the middle and split your paper into advantages and disadvantages. I put an example on the board :).
What will you use your research for?
You will be making a travel guide starting on Thursday to explain what physical feature people should live nearby, sharing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
You should try to research:
Glaciers
Deserts
Mountains
Volcanoes
Rivers
Grasslands
If time, you can do oceans
Links for some possible resources: (You may use your own)
