Homework: June 6th

Hello Everyone!

Today we worked on answering 5W questions when reading a text and using those answers to make predictions.

A prediction is a guess based on information you already have and your own experiences.

For Homework: Read the below article about the Paris Climate Agreement.  Answer the questions that follow.

On Tuesday, June 1, President Donald Trump fulfilled his promise by saying that the US will stop being part of the 2015 Paris climate agreement. The goal of the pledge signed by 195 countries is to reduce the use of fossil fuels to make sure the average global temperatures do not increase more than 2°C (3.6°F). Environmentalists believe this is a critical level, above which the planet could experience rise in sea levels and widespread plant and animal extinction.

The decision was met with much dismay (sadness) by most Americans and people worldwide. However, President Trump’s administration has always believed that the environmental rules put in place by the treaty cost American jobs.

Level 1:  
What are the 5W questions?
Please answer three of them about the article above.

Level 2: 
What are the 5W questions?
Please answer four of them about the article above.

Level 3:
What are the 5W questions?
Please answer all five of them about the article above.
Please cite your answers if possible using  " according to the text"

**On a previous homework (May 30) I stated that singular verbs do no end in "S."  I mixed up my rules!
 Singular Subject (no S, example BUG) = Singular Verbs.  Singular Verbs END IN S

Plural  Subject (end in S, example BUGS) = Plural Verb.  Plural Verbs DO NOT END in S.

Sorry for the confusion.
