Recommended: Questions on the water cycle

A Drop Around the World is a fictional book that allows readers to follow a raindrop, named Drop, on an adventure. Drop goes through all of the phases of the water cycle and also visits many interesting places and people. Drop travels to many countries and during its travels, the drop of water goes through the various stages of the water cycle. The language and advanced vocabulary make this book complex and thought-provoking. The text expands the reader’s knowledge of geography and water cycle through pictures as well. I think this book will be a good choice because the author explains the water cycle in the point of view of the raindrop. The students will get an understanding of what a cycle is and how water changes during the cycle.

  • Analysis Of An Ocean Apart A World Away

    1102 Words  | 3 Pages

    Personally, I really liked An Ocean Apart, A World Away by Lensey Namioka because of the insight provided regarding values, beliefs, customs, languages and traditions in the Chinese culture. In general, it illustrated the cultural norms for a Chinese (Zhuang) family which helped me compare it many of the other cultures I have already been exposed to such as Pakistani, Indian, Korean and Canadian. The writing style of the novel is very clear and focused on the main purpose throughout the novel. Additionally, Namioka explains the reasoning and behind the events of Yanyan’s life, her choices, and the political environment in China to reduce any confusion of the readers. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like an interesting read, but is unable to set aside the time for a long novel.

  • Primary National Curriculum: Cross-Curricular Learning

    1981 Words  | 4 Pages

    I believe that geography is a significant subject in the primary national curriculum because it supports children to develop an understanding of the places in the world and the diverse range of people who live in it. For me, this is an important aspect to learning because it enables children to be globally aware. According to the DFES (Great Britain. Department for Education and Skills, 2005a) education plays a vital role in helping children to recognise their contribution and responsibilities as citizens of the global community and equips them with skills to make informed decisions and take responsible actions. In a recent geography seminar, I collaboratively planned a lesson for KS2, involving children taking a visit to Seaton, a local beach in Cornwall to compare and contrast the area through photographs after recent storm damage. The Royal Geographical Society (2014) suggests through the use of enquiry-based fieldwork, children can gain first hand experiences of physical processes. Having planned this activity I now realise that the use of first hand experiences will support children to develop attitudes and opinions. This is important because in my future geography teaching I can challenge children by using t...

  • Analysis Of The Rain By Robert Creeley

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    Love has the power to do anything. Love can heal and love can hurt. Love is something that is indescribable and difficult to understand. Love is a feeling that cannot be accurately expressed by a word. In the poem “The Rain” by Robert Creeley, the experience of love is painted and explored through a metaphor. The speaker in the poem compares love to rain and he explains how he wants love to be like rain. Love is a beautiful concept and through the abstract comparison to rain a person is assisted in developing a concrete understanding of what love is. True beauty is illuminated by true love and vice versa. In other words, the beauty of love and all that it entails is something true.

  • Fall Of Water

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the piece The Fall of Water by Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge, the clashing worlds between the activists and corporate organizations is perfectly balanced through a replication of the piece Fall of Rebel Angels. Similar to the concept of angels and devils walking the Earth, each side is trying to either preserve or take water away as a natural resource. This piece addresses the politics of water waste and questions our social values. The artists use appropriation to reveal activists in the piece fighting barbarically against Dasani, Coca Cola, Perrier and other large corporations. Shockingly, the police are also seen in the bottom defending the interests and greed of these corrupt organizations. Hiding among the overload of waste, a victim

    Once upon a time high above the earth, fluffy white clouds drifted through the atmosphere. In the clouds lived a family Droplet of water, round and content with life. For as long as I could remember, I spent my days lying on my back, relaxing and soaking up the sun's warm rays. One day, I took my usual place in the sun but the light didn't seem to be as bright. In fact, as the day went on, it grew darker and darker, loud claps of thunder shook the cloud, and the Droplet felt as if he were getting so heavy he could hardly move. This is called precipitation.

  • Satire On Rain

    263 Words  | 1 Pages

    You might think of rain as nothing other than rain. Rain is much more important than little raindrops falling out of the sky. In some countries that only get a few inches of rain a year, rain is worshiped like a god. I know from experience that people aren’t big fans of the rain, but for me the rain is very important. Also, the rain is something that you should enjoy and be thankful for, and it is definitely something that you shouldn’t hate. If you’re in a place like California where it doesn’t rain a lot, I instantly feel this small surge of joy or happiness. And when it does rain I feel that we should be thankful for it. I also feel like the rain is sort of the beginning or the start of a lot of things. If there was just this one little farm that supplied a small city of people with meat and vegetables, the farm would probably rely on a tank filled with rain water used to provide the crops with water to grow. If this wasn’t possible, then there wouldn’t be any water for crops, and there wouldn’t be any crops to feed the small city and then there wouldn’t be a lot of healthy people because people would need to rely on processed foods.

  • Rain

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    Stepping outside, I instantly notice the fresh, wet scent of earth. As I continue walking, I willingly allow the sprinkling droplets to envelop my entire body. My shoes are soon soaked; with each step I take, I feel a puddle of water move beneath my feet. The rain hurls itself violently on the dark, slippery pavement. My hair is dripping with ice-cold raindrops which plummet to the earth with every movement I make. The numbing effect of the icy downpour is finally setting in. Fierce thunder clouds sneak into the murderous sky and flashing lightning strikes begin. The rain falls faster and heavier. My feet move quickly as I run down the road. I rush into my house and proceed to stare out the window and observe the vicious storm that is only beginning. The weather has the uncanny ability to promptly change a mood. Rain holds several emotions that could be considered polar opposites; they range from cleansing to depression, love to anger, and life to death.
