Everest: Imax

Hey Everyone!

Last week we had an article of the week about the recent earthquake that occurred, destroying many important structures in Nepal and destroying base camp at Everest. Today we explore Nepal a little more as we begin to learn about Mt. Everest and the people that climb it.

The Plan:

1. Read
2. A quickwrite in your English Journal
3. Read an article on Newsela
4. Watch a short video
5. Watch a documentary about Mt. Everest and take notes in your English Journal.
6. Write and talk a little bit.

To take notes, you will need to make a table in your English Journal with four boxes. This is what goes in the four boxes:

1. Summarize the film.

2. What are some of the risks associated with climbing Mt. Everest?

3. What are some of the rewards associated with climbing Mt. Everest?

4. Do you think the rewards outweigh the risks? Why/why not?
