  2. Goals • Students at the Bowling Green Housing Authority will: • Learn more about a vacation destination of their choice • Learn to use a technology tool for this task and future school assignments • http://www.habg.org/

  3. Learning Targets • Carry-out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems to the hundredths place (dollars and cents) • Apply knowledge of elapsed time to create a vacation schedule • Analyze costs and benefits to determine a budget • Identify a vacation destination’s location, geographic features, climate, and culture • Produce clear, coherent, and concise writing, including correct grammar and usage • Read for informational purposes • Use technology to organize ideas and create a final product

  4. 4th Grade Standards Social Studies- • SS-04-4.1.1- Students will use geographic tools (e.g., maps, charts, graphs) to identify and describe natural resources and other physical characteristics (e.g., major landforms, major bodies of water, weather, climate, roads, bridges) in regions of Kentucky and the United States. Math- • 4.NBT.4- Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. • 4.MD.2-Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

  5. 4th Grade Writing Standards WR-E-1.1.0 -Purpose/Audience: Students will establish and maintain a focused purpose to communicate with an authentic audience by • Narrowing the topic to create a specific purpose for writing • Establishing a controlling idea, theme, or conclusion about the topic • Choosing a perspective authentic to the writer • Analyzing and addressing the needs of the intended audience • Adhering to the characteristics of the form • Applying a suitable tone • Allowing voice to emerge when appropriate WR-E-2.4.0 -Sentence Structure: Students will create effective sentences by • Applying a variety of structures and lengths • Developing complete and correct sentences unless using unconventional structures for an intentional effect when appropriate

  6. 5th Grade Standards Social Studies- • SS-05-4.1.2-Students will use geographic tools to locate and describe major landforms, bodies of water, places and objects in the United States by their absolute location. Math • 5.NBT.7: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

  7. 5th Grade Writing Standards WR-E-2.3.0- Organization: Students will create unity and coherence to accomplish the focused purpose by • Engaging the audience • Establishing a context for reading when appropriate • Communicating ideas and support in a meaningful order • Applying transitions and transitional elements to guide the reader through the piece • Developing effective closure WR-E-3.5.0- Language: Students will exemplify effective language choices by • Applying correct grammar and usage • Applying concise use of language • Incorporating strong verbs, precise nouns, concrete details and sensory details • Applying language appropriate to the content, purpose and audience
