Welcome Fall!

Although it may not feel like it outside, the fall equinox occurs this evening (5:18 pm to be exact!). Do you know why it is called the fall equinox? Bring your answer to me for a bonus!

In class we finished the video. Our focus today was determining what the cities had in place in case of a quake and what improvements could be made. We will share our answers in class tomorrow.

Homework!

• Read in text pages 118-119 Myths About Earthquakes
• Write your own myth explaining why earthquakes occur.
• I do not want or expect you to write about what really causes an earthquake.
• Use the ideas that other cultures had about quakes to inspire your own silly story.
