This may be done in class or assigned as constraints homework. (Give approximately 4 words at a time) Claims (Evidence, Guided Questions…) Guided Questions: For each content standard (GLE) that will be assessed, students can respond with a paragraph (R-A-C-E-S paragraph writing strategy ) to answer a guided question. Each GLE will be addressed over several days. The first day, the students write an answer to activate prior knowledge, understandings, and opinions. The teacher may use the journal writing as a formative assessment (pre-lessons) to clarify student understanding or misconceptions; addressing any deficiencies individually, in small groups, or by re-teaching the class. A line is drawn under the paragraph, and students will be encouraged to jot notes as they learn about the topic. After completing lessons and activities related to the guided question, students will be asked to write another paragraph, incorporating what they have learned and using academic-domain vocabulary. Post-lesson responses may be graded, using R-A-F-T-S rubric. HOW AM I A CITIZEN OF MY CLASSROOM? WHAT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES DO I HAVE IN THE CLASSROOM AND SCHOOL? 1.

Classroom procedures are left up to the individual teacher, but should be modeled and explicitly stated during the early days of school. Procedures should allow for the orderly exchange of ideas, investigation of knowledge, and valuation of all members. Explain to students that the rules and procedures are important to keep everybody safe, both physically and mentally.

  • Grain-Size Variability Within a Mega-Scale Point-Bar System, False River, Louisiana
    Sedimentology (2018) doi: 10.1111/sed.12528 Grain-size variability within a mega-scale point-bar system, False River, Louisiana PETER D. CLIFT*†, ELIZABETH D. OLSON*, ALEXANDRA LECHNOWSKYJ*, MARY GRACE MORAN*, ALLISON BARBATO* and JUAN M. LORENZO* *Department of Geology and Geophysics, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA (E-mail: [email protected]) †Coastal Studies Institute, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA ABSTRACT Point bars formed by meandering river systems are an important class of sedimentary deposit and are of significant economic interest as hydrocar- bon reservoirs. Standard point-bar models of how the internal sedimentol- ogy varies are based on the structure of small-scale systems with little information about the largest complexes and how these might differ. Here a very large point bar (>25Á0 m thick and 7Á5 9 13Á0 km across) on the Mis- sissippi River (USA) was examined. The lithology and grain-size character- istics at different parts of the point bar were determined by using a combination of coring and electrical conductivity logging. The data confirm that there is a general fining up-section along most parts of the point bar, with a well-defined transition from massive medium-grained sands below about 9 to 11 m depth up into interbedded silts and fine–medium sand sediment (inclined heterolithic strata). There is also a poorly defined increase in sorting quality at the transition level. Massive medium sands are especially common in the region of the channel bend apex and regions upstream of that point. Downstream of the meander apex, there is much less evidence for fining up-section.

Remini Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher 1 Discovery and Settlement of the New World here are many intriguing mysteries surrounding the peo- T pling and discovery of the western hemisphere. Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.
