Tomorrow we are headed to the Moda Center Fountain for our first field study of the year!!!

We will be leaving to walk to our bus at 10:00 AM and will be back in the classroom by 2:45 PM.

You need the following for our first field study:
-lunch, water, e-core, writing utensil, appropriate clothes, positive attitude, and engaged mind
-If you want, you can play in the fountain after lunch. If you choose to do that, bring clothes that can get wet

HW due Thursday:

1. Bring silent reading material to class
...We will start our day with silent reading once we are ready for our field study

2. Field Study Image

Using your Field Study Do’s and Field Studies are Essential handouts in your e-core create an image/cartoon/story/poem that captures the big ideas of those handouts.

Here are some ideas....

• Create a comic strip showing information from the sheets
• Create a story that uses lines from both sheets
• Write a poem about life on field studies using info form the sheets (haiku, free-form, ode, anything!)
• Create a second image showing another one of the major field study expectations (be prepared, be aware, be engaged, be positive)…
• Do anything you can think of to demonstrate the importance of field study expectations

This is not a MAJOR homework assignment, and is meant to help you further think about the big ideas for our field studies this year. Don't spend more than 20 minutes on this assignment.
