The LINCS strategy is one of the learning strategies developed by the University of Kansas. Here is a concise set of directions for using this strategy.
Section 1: The vocabulary term
Section 2: A brief definition
Section 3: A word that sounds similar to the new term.
Section 4: A phrase or sentence that connects—or links—the definition of the new term to the Reminding Word.
Section 5: A memory device that provides a visual link for the new term.

Have Baggage Will Travel:
A Look at our Personal Journeys
· During the late 1800’s, as the United States became a world power, many immigrants arrived looking for work.
· New technology in the 1900’s brought a wave of movement to the west.
When our ancestors set out on their journeys across the ocean or across the country to make new lives, they could only take a few items with them. Some of these items might have been cherished photos, a special toy for a child, valuable jewelry or silver, or a special set of clothing.
Suppose you want to leave Marietta, Georgia, for opportunities in a new location. Which items in your life would you like to take with you? Your challenge is to pack a suitcase with things that you would want to have with you in your new life.
· Place the items in a suitcase.
o You may use an actual suitcase, or you can decorate a box as if it is a trunk. It should have a lid if you use a box.
· On an index card, write an explanation of why you included each item. In your explanation, you should include:
o What the item is
o Why you are packing it, its significance or importance
o How it will benefit you in your new location
How will you be graded? Download the rubric at the bottom of this post
· You must include at least 5 items
· Index cards must be included and have at least all the information requested above
· NEATNESS COUNTS
· Effort and creativity
This assignment is due on December 2. Have a safe and fulfilling journey!

This week's decoding unit -ip is very versatile. Without it you can't try a sip of your friend's milkshake; you couldn't hold on to anything without a grip; your feet would get cold without your slipper; and where would all the mail go without a zipcode.
