Hello! Today, the 7th graders began with the following quote:

They were asked to respond and their responses are written below. Please read through all of the responses and then do the following:
- Select the one that you enjoy the most.
- Begin a gDoc by copying in the response you most enjoyed.
- In the document, also write your thoughts on the 7th grader's response. Do you agree? Disagree? What does it make you think of? (Please take some time to thoughtfully answer.)
- Share the document with me. Thanks!
Once you are done with the response, practice building a food web. Go to this link and select Build a Food Web. Read the directions and complete the web. Then, it will give you a scenario. Instead of filling the scenario out in the box, please add your ideas to the document you started earlier. ***Please make sure you write so that anyone would understand the scenario.
One of our key questions...
