Tuesday, April 23 Day 3

I will continue to meet with students to review the religion info paragraphs. You will finish the Greece geography notes and then tackle a new article about microplastics falling from the sky. A link to the article can be found in the two-column note template I set-up.

You can work with your group on the Greece and plastic notes or work on your own.
