 * Suggested Activities: ** [see Legend to highlight MCO and HYS]
 * ** Odyssey Lesson: ** Finish lessons from previous weeks.
 * ** ART TEACHER: ** Continue with class discussion about the title of the unit, Inspired by the Sea. What do you see in each artwork—can you see the sea? Cover the part of the work that is not part of the sea. What changes about the sea? What do you notice in the water? Why did the artist choose those colors? Is it obvious that this detail is a picture of the sea? What else could it be? Closely compare the Diebenkorn image with the Hopper. Discuss the differences in color, line, texture, and shape of each seascape. Discuss the ideas of abstraction and realism by contrasting these works. (SL.3.1, SL.3.3) (I/C, S) (S/D, N/L, C/Q/O)
 * ** ART TEACHER: ** Review all of the artworks. Ask students to describe differences among the works. Which one depicts the sea most accurately? Is it realistic or abstract? What would you create if you painted or drew your own image of the sea? Describe your “ideal” sea image in words. (W.3.3, SL.3.4, SL.3.5)
 * Read aloud two books with similar topics, such as: __A Drop of Water: A Book of Science //and//__ __Wonder__ by Walter Wick and __A Drop Around the World__by Barbara Shaw McKinney. As you read the books, discuss the following questions:
 * What is the main idea of the book? Of each section?
 * What are the key points used to create the main idea?
 * How are the two books similar?
 * How are they different?
 * What are the text features used by the authors/illustrators to teach more about a drop of water?
 * Do these books have the same purpose?
 * Does one of the books teach more than the other?
 * How could one of the books be improved?
 * ** COMPLETE AND PRESENT RESEARCH: ** Students will select and research a favorite sea animal and take notes using a graphic organizer. Give students this prompt: “You have read books about animals that live in the sea. Think about which animal has been most interesting to you. Write a paragraph about what you have learned about that specific sea animal such as, its habitat, its adaptations, and its diet.” Encourage students to do more research using the Internet, encyclopedias, or library books to add to their learning. Some students will need guidance in generating open-ended questions about their specific animal, a plan for locating the most relevant and useful information, and organizing their information into focused paragraphs. Take writing through the writing process.(SL.3.1a, W.3.10, W.3.2, RI.3.2) (I/C,S) (HP, SN, CQO)

This virtual field trip is a wonderful introduction to an oceanic unit or a lesson on habitats. Students will get the chance to move their name to signify what they've already experienced concerning the ocean (have they been to the beach? the aquarium?).
