Science
Watch the 1997 flood documentary called “Red River Raging”. The You Tube link is on the last slide of the "Flooding in Manitoba" PowerPoint. After watching the documentary, write a half page to full page paragraph describing what you thought about it, what you learned, what surprised you or how you felt about it. Make your LA teacher proud as well and remember that spelling, grammar and punctuation matter! Be creative and let you writing juices flow! I would like this paragraph before Friday, May 29 at 1:00 PM.
