Rachel was an author and environmentalist who was influential in having the pesticide DDT removed from the market. Our puzzle for the day was a Plexer. Plexers are common terms or phrases in picture form. Students are to look for visual clues from the different perspectives and look for the interrelationship of visual clues. The affective lesson of the day centered around tolerance and empathy. Students learned that they need to become more tolerant of their pet peeves. The Exploration lesson focused on the generalization that explorers transfer parts of their culture to other cultures. By playing the game "20 Questions", students learned that a variety of items can transfer cultures not just food. Our SOS project had us studying ocean currents.
