Hur 1 - Do Now Langosta
Langosta is a good source of food but you could use the shells to make stuff like weapon to survive. You could use the shells to make a knife for cutting rope and meat. The shells could also make a good spear to catch fishes for food. You could also use the shells to make a needle to sew clothing. If you are in a survival situation don't throw away the langosta shells and used them to make survival tools.

Do Now - Week 2
When I listen to the music I imagine an Island in the middle of the ocean. The island has palm trees and coconut tress all over it. The sky was as blue as the ocean and the sun shine so bright in the sky. Crabs was walking all over the white sand. Waves crashing and the ocean splashing made a relaxing sound.

Week - 1 Do Now
Hello! Readers
Today I'm gonna be telling you guys what a Schooner looks like.
A schooner has a long body and it's made out of wood. The wood looks old and rusty. The schooner has 4 sails. The colour of the boat is black and white on top. If you would be in the boat you would see the water and the inside of the boat. If you were sailing in the boat you would feel the wave rocking the boat and you could hear the wind and the water splashing against the boat.![]()

The U-Boat is the German most formidable naval weapon. The U-boat is 214 feet long and it carried 35 men and 12 torpedoes. The U-boat can travel underwater for 2 hours at a time.
Youtube video About the U-boat
I pick this video because it shows a picture of the U-boat and it tells you the size of the U-boat and how it travels. It tells you about the engine and how it works.
