Reviewing the Week in Languge Arts



This is a picture of the story map that we have been learning about this week. They map has 5 words that tell you what part of the story you're at. The introduction is the first part of the story where you decribe the character then the mood, setting. Then you start to get some action in the story, that's at rising action, where you get more into the problem. Then the climax where the most exciting part comes in. You have to decide at this point who
wins. The falling action now takes place where you get to the part that you start to say that the good guy starts to win and then the conclusion is when you wrap it up and then you end it.

Making Awesome Crystals

Introduction
Do you want a real crystal
pipe cleaner? Well, now you can have one, two or three. You can have as many as
you want, just follow these easy steps.


You will need…
Wide mouth jar (or large measuring cup)
Three pipe cleaners
Scissors
Pencil
Kettle for boiling water (have an adult do this part)
A tablespoon
Borax

Step 1
Cut two, three inch pieces off of a
pipe cleaner. Leave one long. Take the two small pieces and wrap it around the
long piece to make this spiky figure of a snowflake.

 Step 2
To make the next figure to
crystallize, wrap a pipe cleaner around a pencil. Take it off and stretch it
out a little (as shown in the picture with the red pipe cleaner).



Step 3
There is one more figure you can
make. I made a 3D diamond, but you can use your imagination and make any shape
you want out of a pipe cleaner.



Step 4
Wrap the stem of the pipe cleaners
around the pencil so they hang without touching each other, and two inches from
the pencil.

 Step 5
Pour the boiling water into the
wide mouthed jar (get an adult to do this).
Stir in three tablespoons of Borax for every cup of water. Stir until
most of the Borax has dissolved, but it is okay if there are a few clumps left.

Step 6
Put the pipe cleaners in the water. Do not let them touch the sides or the bottom of the jar, or each other. Leave them hanging there overnight.


Conclusion
You are now finished your crystallized
pipe cleaners. Take them off the pencil. Now you have a choice of cutting the
stem off, or leaving it on if you want a hanging decoration. Hang them by a window, and watch them sparkle in the sun!
