5. What is Thermal Energy? o Heat energy Heat - energy that flows from particles of one object to the particles of another oThe heat energy of an object determines how active its atoms are. A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will show less movement.

6. Conductor to have the quality of transmitting something (as light, heat, sound, or electricity)

7. Insulator material that slows down or stops electric current or heat from flowing

8. Lens A clear object that has at least one curved surface

9. Prism A clear object that separates white light into all the colors of the rainbow

10. Convex vs. Concave Lens Most simple microscopes use a convex lens.

11. Light Energy waves of radiant energy

12. Absorption A property of light that occurs when a material takes in light energy and changes it to heat energy.

13. Are these light sources? moon water mirror These items are not light sources, instead they are reflecting light from other sources.

14. Reflection energy waves bouncing off the surface of an object

15. Refraction energy waves that bend as they pass from one type of material to another (such as from air to liquid)

37. Writing Performance Task Standard W3: Narrative Being a Writer Writing Time! 1:45 – 2:40

38. Today’s Task Today we will tackle the second part of the performance task in which you will write a narrative/story about visiting the monuments and memorials of Washington, D.C. Let’s begin!

39. Remember we are working together to practice for the end of the year assessment, so we will not be following all the directions exactly as written. When you take the test you will need to follow the directions exactly.

40. Remember you can write your narrative/story anyway you want, but you must include visits to at least 3 monuments or memorials.

41. You should also review the list we created on the “What We Have Learned About Narrative Writing” chart. Refer to both charts as you write your story. What questions do you have about the directions for writing this narrative/story?

42. Planning and Starting the Story I will model writing the first two paragraphs of the story. This story needs to describe a visit of at least 3 monuments or memorials in Washington, D.C. during the springtime, and it needs to include details from the source. When I write the opening paragraph, I will introduce the setting and the focus of the story. Then I will write a paragraph about visiting the first memorial. Always remember to include the qualities of a well-written narrative.

43. Opening Paragraph My opening paragraph needs to introduce readers to the setting and the focus of the story to make the reader want to keep reading. My story is going to be about an imaginary trip to visit my friend, Michelle, in Washington, D.C. I might start it like this… During spring break, I visited my friend, Michelle, who moved to Washington, D.C., with her family last summer. I flew there on a plane all by myself! It was a great trip. Beginning my story like this shows I understand the assignment because my story is about visiting Washington, D.C., in the springtime. I think the sentence It was a great trip will get readers hooked and make them want to know more about what happened on the trip.

44. Opening Paragraph cont. I don’t want to forget the focus of the story, so I need to include that in the opening paragraph as well. During spring break, I visited my friend, Michelle, who moved to Washington, D.C., with her family last summer. I flew there on a plane all by myself! It was a great trip. On the first day, I went with Michelle and her parents to visit several monuments and memorials near the National Mall and Tidal Basin.

45. 1 st Paragraph My next paragraph will describe what I saw when we arrived at the Tidal Basin area and visited the Washington Monument. I will use the information from my notes and the brochure to describe the cherry trees. I might write… When we first arrived at the Tidal Basin, I was so glad to be visiting in the spring because there were cherry trees in bloom everywhere. The pink and white blossoms were so pretty. I think the description of the blossoms will help readers picture the setting in their minds.

46. 1 st Paragraph cont. Now I’ll introduce readers to the first monument we visit in the story. I might add… When we first arrived at the Tidal Basin, I was so glad to be visiting in the spring because there were cherry trees in bloom everywhere. The pink and white blossoms were so pretty. There were dozens of cherry trees in bloom near one of my favorite sights, the Washington Monument.

47. 1 st Paragraph cont. In my notes about the Washington Monument, I wrote that it is 555.5 feet tall. I think that’s an interesting detail to include. I might add… When we first arrived at the Tidal Basin, I was so glad to be visiting in the spring because there were cherry trees in bloom everywhere. The pink and white blossoms were so pretty. There were dozens of cherry trees in bloom near one of my favorite sights, the Washington Monument. I’ve seen many pictures of this monument, but seeing it in person was really amazing. The ranger told us that it is 555.5 feet tall!

48. 1 st Paragraph cont. I’d also like to include information about the flags around the monument, so I might add… When we first arrived at the Tidal Basin, I was so glad to be visiting in the spring because there were cherry trees in bloom everywhere. The pink and white blossoms were so pretty. There were dozens of cherry trees in bloom near one of my favorite sights, the Washington Monument. I’ve seen many pictures of this monument, but seeing it in person was really amazing. The ranger told us that it is 555.5 feet tall! There is also a ring of American flags around the monument. I think this is appropriate because Washington was our country’s first president.

49. Writing Time! You will use your notes and sources to write a narrative, including an opening paragraph and several other paragraphs to describe your visit to Washington, D.C. Think – Pair – Share What might you write about in your narrative/story today? Your Turn to Write! Use notebook paper to write your narrative/story using the prompt. Remember to include the qualities of a well written narrative.
