Hello students in Mrs. Vinson's language arts classes! You are studying an interesting subject today. Pompeii is an extinct city. Mount Vesuvius erupted on a Tuesday, August 24 in AD 79. The eruption began with a small explosion and a thin layer of ash between 9-10 a.m. A massive explosion happened at 1 p.m., emitting a huge eruption cloud.
What other facts do you know?
When you blog, be sure to put your first name and last initial on your post to get credit for this portion of your assignment.
You may use encyclopedias, book resources, Galileo or Encarta to find more information.
You may also use the notes taken during the Discovery video shown through our data projector.
Good luck!
(We can upload photos of your projects once those are done!)
