We are going to attempt to make a (virtual) Class Cookbook over the next few weeks! To begin this project, you will choose a recipe from home that represents a story about your family. This could be your creation using staples from the pantry, great grandma’s new delicious recipe, dad’s famous Thanksgiving pie, or an old family recipe passed down through generations. The choice is yours!
Directions: Think back to when you wrote the directions to how to make a PBJ (or cheese, jelly, etc.) and how you had to be very deliberate in describing each step. Today you are going to write the recipe that holds meaning to you and your family and write the directions in the same way. Make sure you are clear, concise, and explain thoroughly each step of the recipe.
Herd of goats takes over deserted resort in Britain amid lockdown
A herd of Kashmir goats invaded a Welsh seaside resort after the coronavirus lockdown left the streets deserted.
The animals normally roam free on a nearby headland jutting out into the Irish Sea. They instead wandered into Llandudno for three days at the end of March. There, they feasted on garden hedges and flowers.
Like other countries affected by the global coronavirus crisis, the United Kingdom has imposed strict social distancing measures including shop and school closures. Authorities are asking everyone to stay at home except for essential travel.
With the streets of Llandudno, Wales, unnaturally quiet, the goats have been free to wander the streets undisturbed.
Llandudno resident and video producer Andrew Stuart said the goats are roaming around town, but avoid people who go out to photograph them.
"They seem to be a bit averse to people. You're not going to come close to them because they don't like you, as much as you wouldn't like to have a meeting with one of them in close quarters," Stuart said. "Because of the lockdown, there are no people, no cars, no noise, there's nothing to stop them. So they are just exploring places which they haven't explored before."
Town councilor Carol Marubbi said the goats didn't normally come into town unless the weather was awful. On this occasion, she said, they probably realized something unusual was going on because there were so few people around.
"I think they're probably feeling a bit lonely and they have come down to have a look around," Marubbi said.
Kashmir goats have lived on the Great Orme promontory near Llandudno since the days of Queen Victoria. The species became popular in Britain due to a fashion for shawls made from their soft cashmere wool.
Marubbi said the herd of about 150 goats were a well-known local attraction. Most residents did not mind having their hedges nibbled by them.
"I'm a big fan," she said. "I love them because they are characters."With millions of people stuck at home sharing light-hearted content online to alleviate the tedium of the
lockdown, images and video of the goats roving around the streets were a hit on social media, with #goats and #Llandudno trending on Twitter.
Stuart has been filming and photographing the goats in Llandudno. His Twitter posts have gone viral. He is known around the world, as he put it in one tweet, as the man who stares at goats. He says this event has made for a very memorable lockdown.
"I thought about what could possibly come out of lockdown? What's going to happen? I did not think that this would happen. I don't think anyone could have guessed this," Stuart said. "It's just so weird and bizarre and really funny at the same time."
Imagine you are the mayor of Llandudno and have been receiving phone calls from residents about the goats. Write out a phone conversation between you and one of the concerned residents.
Directions: Read the story, and complete the color editing activity. Then, answer the inference questions that follow.
The Case of the Missing Mystery
(1) Jenna loves mysteries. She loves gathering clues and putting them all together to discover the hidden answer. That is why she joined the Mystery of the Month Club. With this club, she gets a new mystery in the mail every month.
(2) Jenna’s friends think she is crazy. Although they wouldn’t mind reading a mystery once in a while, they certainly wouldn’t want to read one every month. She doesn’t know anyone else who has joined the Mystery of the Month Club. But she is glad she did, because this month’s mystery is The Case of the Missing Cat. Jenna loves cats and can’t wait to start reading the novel during sustained silent reading (SSR) time in school.
(3) After all the math workbooks were put away, everyone in Jenna’s class got their SSR books and sat in their usual places. Jenna, Sarah and Candi sat in the three chairs against the back wall. Timmy and Robert sat on the floor in front of them on the reading rug. Everyone else was scattered around the room. Miss Grangeford sat in her teacher’s chair reading a Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
(4) “Can I read your book today?” asked Sarah. (5) “Not today,” replied Jenna. “But I will let you read it when I’m finished.” (6) “I thought you said I could read it next?!” whispered Candi in a not-so-quiet voice. (7) “Quiet back there!” yelled Miss Grangeford. (8) “I’m not sitting next to you anymore,” said Candi as she got up and moved next to Timmy. (9) “Get out of here!” yelled Robert. (10) “Shhhhhhhh!” said Miss Grangeford. (11) Candi ignored Robert and began reading her book. (12) By then Jenna was lost in her mystery. She read page after page with her eyes glued to the
book. It really was a good mystery! Try as she may, she couldn’t put all of the pieces together yet. Usually, she could figure out the mystery before the end of the book. But she only had ten pages to go, and she had no idea who stole the cat. Was it the milkman who delivered milk on the doorstep every morning at 8:00 a.m.? Or was it the mailman who delivered the mail by 12:00 p.m.? Jenna has to figure out the last time someone saw Benji the cat. This information would help her figure out the mystery. She wishes she had her blue notebook. That is where she writes down all of the clues to the stories she reads.
(13) Beep! Beep! Beep! (14) “Okay, children, you know what that means. Line up silently for the fire drill.” (15) Jenna and Sarah put their books on their chairs and began lining up for the drill. (16) By the time the class got back from the fire drill, it was time for lunch. Friday is pizza day, so
everyone quickly got their money and lined back up again. Jenna wanted to get there early while pepperoni slices were still available.
(17) When they got back from lunch, Jenna made a bee-line for the reading chairs in the back of the room. Sarah’s book was sitting on her chair where she left it, but Jenna’s was gone!
(18) “Who took my book?” screamed Jenna in a panic. (19) “It wasn’t me!” answered Sarah. “I was going to wait until you were through with it.”
(20) Jenna looked at Candi. Candi looked at the ground and said, “You always blame me for things I don’t do. I didn’t take your book.”
(21) “Who cares about that book,” said Timmy. “Everyone knows the milkman stole the cat.” (22) “Who cares about the stupid cat,” said Robert. “I hate mystery books.” (23) “I know who stole the book!” yelled Jenna. “Hand it over now!” (24) The thief was caught and had to return the book and write a letter of apology to Jenna.
Who stole the book?
1. Color Editing: A. Circle or highlight the main suspect in red. B. Circle or highlight his or her suspicious behavior in blue. C. Circle or highlight the mystery connection in green.

You could use technology to make a Tik-Tok or a Youtube video with your interpretation. Choose a medium that you can have fun with!
Bonus-Watch “Crash Course Before I Got My Eye Put Out” on Youtube and write a 50 word response on how Emily Dickinson uses sight in her poetry citing specific examples.
Timmy sat near Jenna, and knew she was reading a good book, because other students asked her to borrow it next. He had the opportunity to steal it when the fire alarm rang. He gave himself away when he said the milkman stole the cat. Since Jenna was the only person in her class who was a member of the Mystery of the Month club, she was the only one who knew the details of the book. Timmy wouldn’t know about the suspects, or about the milkman stealing the cat, if he hadn’t looked at a few pages of the book. Since he wasn’t a member of the book club, he must have taken the book to gain this information.

Read these passages and highlight/underline ideas you believe to be important.
In 1831, when Darwin was just 22 years old, he set sail on a scientific expedition on a ship called the HMS Beagle. He was the naturalist on the voyage. As a naturalist, it was his job to observe and collect specimens of plants, animals, rocks, and fossils wherever the expedition went ashore. Darwin was fascinated by nature, so he loved his job on the Beagle. He spent more than 3 years of the 5-year trip exploring nature on distant continents and islands. While he was away, a former teacher published Darwin’s accounts of his observations.
During the long voyage, Darwin made many observations that helped him form his theory of evolution. For example:
● He visited tropical rainforests and other new habitats where he saw many plants and animals he had never seen before. This impressed him with the great diversity of life.
● He experienced an earthquake that lifted the ocean floor 2.7 meters (9 feet) above sea level. He also found rocks containing fossil sea shells in mountains high above sea level. These observations suggested that continents and oceans had changed dramatically over time and continue to change in dramatic ways.
● He visited rock ledges that had clearly once been beaches that had gradually built up over time. This suggested that slow, steady processes also change Earth’s surface.
● He dug up fossils of gigantic extinct mammals, such as the ground sloth. This was hard evidence that organisms looked very different in the past. It suggested that living things — like Earth’s surface —change over time.
Darwin’s most important observations were made on the Galápagos Islands. This is a group of 16 small volcanic islands 966 kilometers (600 miles) off the west coast of South America.Individual Galápagos Islands differ from one another in important ways. Some are rocky and dry. Others have better soil and more rainfall. Darwin noticed that the plants and animals on the different islands also differed. For example, the giant tortoises on one island had saddle-shaped shells, while those on another island had dome-shaped shells. People who lived on the islands could even tell the island a turtle came from by its shell. This started Darwin thinking about the origin of species. He wondered how each island came to have its own type of tortoise.
Thomas Malthus (1766–1834) was an English economist. He wrote an essay titled On Population. In the essay, Malthus argued that human populations grow faster than the resources they depend on. When populations become too large, famine and disease break out.
Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

Use the reading from Monday to answer the questions. There is some additional infoat the bottom of the page.
What did Charles Lyell contribute to the theory of evolution? ... In 1830, Lyell wrote a set of books summarizing what was known about geology. In it, he advanced the idea that the Earth gradually changes over time. Importantly, he argued that geological processes that changed the Earth were all occurring now.
Uniformitarianism - "The Present is the Key to the Past"Uniformitarianism is a geological doctrine. It states that current geologic processes, occurring at the same rates observed today, in the same manner, account for all of Earth's geological features. This idea is attributed to Lyell.
Alfred Russel Wallace OM FRS was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator. He is best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection; his paper on the subject was jointly published with some of Charles Darwin's writings in 1858

Official State Flag of Illinois
On July 6, 1915, the state legislature adopted a flag that had been developed in a contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. On a white field the flag showed design elements from the state seal—a rock on a stretch of land with water and the rising sun behind it, plus a shield bearing the national stars and stripes in the claws of a bald eagle. A ribbon in the beak of the eagle bore the motto of Illinois, “State sovereignty — national union”; and the dates 1818 (for statehood) and 1868 (for the first use of the state seal) were shown on the rock.
As in a number of states, some complained that the flag could not readily be identified when displayed with other state flags. Thus a new law, effective July 1, 1970, changed the design. The sun, which had usually been omitted in the previous design, was required, as were specific colours for the various seal elements, such as water, land, rock, and sun. The name of the state was added beneath the seal in blue lettering. The Illinois secretary of state then issued design specifications to be followed by flag manufacturers and artists.
1. How old will the IL state flag be this year? 2. Begin a design for a new state flag. Add details and color to it as you learn more
about Illinois this week.
The State of Illinois:
The first Europeans to visit Illinois were the French explorers Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673, but the region was ceded to Britain after the French and Indian War. After the American Revolution, Illinois became a territory of the United States, and achieved statehood in 1818. Located on Lake Michigan, and connected to the eastern ports via the Erie Canal, Chicago became a booming metropolis, and even the fire of 1871 could not stunt its growth. In the second half of the 19th century the great need for workers in the mills, rail yards and slaughterhouses made Chicago a popular destination for immigrants and freed blacks. During Prohibition Chicago became synonymous with bootleg liquor and gangsters like Al Capone.
Date of Statehood: December 3, 1818
Capital: Springfield
Population: 12,830,632 (2010)
Size: 57,916 square miles
Nickname(s): Prairie State; Land of Lincoln

Several companies in the St. Louis area have switched over production methods from their usual products to create items that are needed during this COVID-19 outbreak. For example, a school uniform company is now making much needed face masks, breweries and distilleries are making hand sanitizer, and a company that usually manufactures window blinds is now making clear face shields for health care workers. Not only are these changes helping people fight the virus, they are also keeping hundreds of employees from being laid off.
1. What is another company that you think might have the knowledge and equipment to help the fight against COVID-19? How could they help?
2. How could restaurants or food companies help during this time?
3. Imagine you own a company that has just switched from making another product to making face masks. What is your new slogan? (ie: “I’m lovin’ it”; “Just do it.”; “Got milk?”; “America Runs on Dunkin’ ”)
The design should reflect Illinois facts and/or history.
PLEASE REACH OUT TO US. WE NEED RESPONSES FROM YOU ALL : )
1. 2018 (1818 + 200 = 2018)2. Answers will vary.3. It may have been because of the color of the male Cardinal is so bright and attractive.
Or, maybe because the Cardinal is a common birt to see throughout Illinois year round. (Answers will vary)
1. Maybe a company that could switch to face masks, ventilators, personal protective equipment (PPE), etc2. Ideas should reflect food production or distribution3. Slogan should be short and catchy while fitting along with what you are making
