The Difference Between Mermaids And Sirens In A Nutshell Somewhere along the literary and mythological road, mermaids and sirens got confused into one creature: a half-woman, half-fish creature known for her beautiful singing voice. Originally, it was only the mermaid that was a half-human, half-fish creature, and a singing voice wasn’t mentioned in early myths. The Whole Bushel In today’s pop culture world, the mermaid and the siren are often portrayed as the same character. Originally, though, these two creatures were two entirely separate myths. Mermaids have been in myths and folklore since their first appearance in ancient Babylonian stories. It was the nereids of Greek mythology who gave rise to the tales of the mermaids that were so popular among later sailors’ mythology. It was the sirens that were known for their singing voices, supposedly of such beauty that sailors would forget what they were doing, and simply stop to listen. But the sirens were never half-woman and half-fish creatures. Show Me The Proof

Like all lemurs, they are native to Madagascar, where they are found only in the west, north, and east sides of the island. They are named for the two black stripes which run up from the eyes, converge on the top of the head, and run down the back as a single black stripe. Fork-marked lemurs are among the least studied of all lemurs and are some of the largest members of the family Cheirogaleidae, weighing around 350 grams (0.77 lb) or more. These species live in a wide variety of habitats, ranging from dry deciduous forests to rainforests, and run quadrupedally across branches. Taxonomy In 1897, Alfred Grandidier demonstrated the similarities between Lepilemur (middle column, bottom two) and the cheirogaleids, particularly Phaner (middle, top). In December 2010, Russell Mittermeier of Conservation International and conservation geneticist Edward E. Etymology Evolution Behavior
Movie Review Template for Kids It’s time for a reality check… whether we accept it or not we’re all critics. Whether it be about the clothes we wear, the food we eat or the movies we watch we all have an opinion.

Throughout the summer the four of us will be taking turns choosing a movie, watching it then the kids will fill out movie reviews with their thoughts. We’ve done this once already and so far it’s a hit!

Kul@lära: Verblära med Lockie Leonard Verblära är nyttigt och nödvändigt men inte alltid skrattretande. För att göra detta avsnitt lite mer aptitretande prövar jag i år att kombinera det med en serie, Lockie Leonard, som finns tillgänglig via Utbildningsradion. Serien är humoristisk och handlar om en tolvårig australiensisk pojke som flyttar till en ny ort och de problem han råkar ut för där. Det står på URs sida att målgrupp är årskurs 4-6 men om man inte väljer svensk text utan engelsk eller ingen text alls är den lämplig för äldre elever. De 14 avsnitten à 25 minuter finns tillgängliga för alla på URs hemsida och jag ger eleverna i läxa att se vissa avsnitt hemma och sedan gör vi olika skriftliga och muntliga uppgifter i skolan som kombinerar verblära med innehållet i serien. Här är länkar till elevinstruktionerna på bloggen Digital portfolio samt info om hur läxan förhörs: Avsnitt 1 och 2. Vid utvärderingar var de flesta eleverna nöjda med detta arbetsområde.
