Assignment: Where Does Electricity Come From?

Today we are going to read a text about Electricity and find the main idea and the details (or supporting facts) for each main source of electricity. We have already talked about main idea and details quite a lot, but here is a video to help you remember, and to watch at home too!

After you have watched the video, read the article "Where Does Electricity Come From?" in the textbook. We are going to use the Chromebooks today to show our understanding of main idea and details in this text. First, we will read the text, then we will do the first one, Water, together as a class. Finally, you will be working on the rest of the items using the chromebooks to complete the presentation by finding the main idea and details for the other types of energy sources.

Remember, when you open the presentation, the first thing you must do is go to "File -> Make a Copy" and then save the new copy with your names. That way, no one else is working on your presentation at the same time!

Here is the link to the presentation:
