Water Purification within an ecosystem

Today we introduced new vocabulary while discussing and viewing a short film that deals with water purification.  Words like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, filtration, purification and desalination are processes, some man made or natural that are shown in the film above.  It is not only important to know the meaning of these words, but we must know how to use them correctly when speaking or writing in English.

G10-02 and G10-08, your assignment for Thursday is to write a paragraph describing the natural processes that are taking place in the film above, using the vocabulary we went over in class.  Do you remember disperse and spontaneous from the flash mob article we read in The National newspaper?  How can you use those words to describe the video?  The paragraph you write must have a minimum of 120 words and be turned in at the end of the 2nd period for G10-02 and 4th period for G10-08.  Any questions you have we will go over in class.

The importance of green

There was an exhibition held in Dubai earlier this week which highlighted sustainable energy or green energy.  The UAE is committed to embrace this concept in order to preserve the local and world environment.  How important is sustainable energy to UAE culture and what role do Emirati companies play in promoting the concept of a green environment?  The article, Consumers Switched to Green Power, might give you some answers to these questions.  You can read that article here.

When you finish you must write a summary of the article, but first you must write an outline and mention the following points.  

 I. Topic
II. Topic Sentence
III. Supporting Detail
a) #1
b) #2
c)#3
d)#4
IV. Concluding Sentence

When you have completed the outline in the above form, then you must write a seven sentence paragraph summarizing the article.  Do not copy, paste sentences or expressions from the article. After you have finished, turn in both the outline and the paragraph via the schoology.com tab for this assignment.  This is individual work for G10-02 and is due by the end of the school day.
