Notes:
In Current Events, we discussed a very interesting article entitled Orangutans Plan Their Days and Publicize Them Just Like Humans from Dogo News. Check our the article here! Just as we humans are feeling all smug about our abilities to broadcast our daily schedule and plans via social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, comes news that we are no pioneers - Male Orangutans have been doing it for years, without requiring computers or sophisticated technology.
In English, we read an article entitled What is a Knight? by John Farman. We talked about different purposes of reading and this story was about reading for information. We also discussed activating prior knowledge and connecting with the reading. When you activate prior knowledge, you use information that you already know to better understand what you read. Remembering what you have learned, seen, or experienced can help you make sense of new information. It can also help you predict what a section is about or what might happen next. We discussed what we knew about knight's responsibilities, a knight's character and place in society and a time period which knights lived.
