What I Learned
Completeness: complete · Depth: fair
Complete: one fact per article. Content accurate, but 'The AMOC will make Europe to have extreme temperatures' is ungrammatical and too certain. Suggest: 'The AMOC may cause Europe to have more extreme temperatures.' 'kelvin' should be capitalized as 'Kelvin.' Depth is fair; add one more detail, e.g., that the cold blob is south of Greenland or that the shark teeth are 70–80 million years old.
My Favorite Part
Completeness: complete · Depth: fair
Complete: three responses. Accuracy is good overall. Rewrites: 'Stefan Rahmstorf think the AMOC maybe close to shutting down was unlikely.' → Suggest: 'Stefan Rahmstorf thinks the AMOC may be close to shutting down. He used to think this was unlikely, but now he thinks it is more likely.' 'The Egypt's Desert... at long long time ago.' → Suggest: 'Egypt's Western Desert was a warm, shallow sea a very long time ago.' 'It's biger than beach waves' → 'It's bigger than beach waves.' Depth is fair; good selection of interesting facts.
New Words
Completeness: partial · Accuracy: fair
Partial/fair: two sentences are written, but the words 'pollution' and 'sediment' do not appear in the three articles. 'The sediment of caffe will settle' has a misspelling: 'caffe' → 'coffee'; rewrite as 'The sediment in coffee will settle' or 'Coffee grounds will settle to the bottom.' 'There is some pollution of the atmosphere' is awkward; suggest 'There is some pollution in the atmosphere' or 'Air pollution is a problem.' Use two new words from this week’s articles, such as 'erosion' and 'sea level.'
Draw It
Completeness: partial
Partial: transcription shows only labels—'the AMOC', 'shark', 'Kelvin wave'—so visual details cannot be judged. The assignment asks for the most interesting part of the Kelvin wave article; the label suggests the student drew the wave. Add a short caption, e.g., 'A huge Kelvin wave is moving toward California.'
10.10 junior
What I learned
The AMOC will make Europe to have extreme
temperatures. Scientists found some shark teeth in
Egypt's desert. And a kelvin wave is moving toward
California.
My Favourite Part
① Stefan Rahmstorf think the AMOC maybe close
to shutting down was unlikely. But now he thinks
it is more likely.
② The Egypt's Desert was a warm, shallow sea
at long long time ago.
③ A Kelvin wave is huge. It's biger than beach
waves and can stretch across a large part of
the Pacific Ocean!
New Words
There is some pollution of the atmosphere.
The sediment of caffe will settle.

Page 1 shows good engagement: the student completed all four sections and identified one main idea from each article. Content is mostly accurate—the AMOC, shark teeth, and Kelvin wave are all mentioned. However, several sentences are unidiomatic or grammatically incorrect. 'The AMOC will make Europe to have extreme temperatures' uses 'make...to have' incorrectly; suggest: 'The AMOC may cause Europe to have more extreme temperatures.' In the favorite-part section, 'Stefan Rahmstorf think the AMOC maybe close to shutting down was unlikely' is confusing; suggest: 'Stefan Rahmstorf thinks the AMOC may be close to shutting down. He used to think this was unlikely, but now he thinks it is more likely.' 'The Egypt's Desert... at long long time ago' should be 'Egypt's Western Desert was a warm, shallow sea a very long time ago.' Spelling needs attention: 'biger' → 'bigger' and 'caffe' → 'coffee.' The New Words sentences are understandable but not drawn from the articles, and 'pollution of the atmosphere' sounds unnatural; suggest 'air pollution' or 'pollution in the atmosphere.' Overall, focus on verb patterns (make + object + verb), articles, and choosing vocabulary from the week’s reading.
