Glad they didn’t correct it to “Gulf of America” though

The “bay” picture should be called a pond imo
EthosUnharvestedClay on
Yeah the teacher is 100% wrong here. A lake is an enclosed body of water (although tbh that looks more like a pond than a lake, but whatever) while a bay opens into the ocean.

Bay is correct, teacher is wrong. Lake is correct i guess but looks a lot more like a pond

A bay can’t be a closed body of water by definition. The bottom left picture could possibly be a lake but the center picture can’t possibly be a bay.

Honestly, kids name things way more accurately than adults sometimes teacher’s just not ready for that level of truth

Teacher is blatantly wrong.
But really that middle one is a pond.

the teacher is confidently incorrect

As a teacher myself, this one is wrong. That said, grading things we can make mistakes. Though this one seems confident.

Kinda funny that the grade given is 8/10 when it should maybe be 7/9…

Thank you for calling it the Gulf of Mexico!

Extra marks for “Gulf of Mexico.“ ✅

Honestly, not a bad hand drawn from memory map of the Gulf of Mexico either. As much as it depresses me to say, most adult Americans would probably do worse.

Bays are part of a larger body of water, like the ocean. The one in the middle is at best a lake but it looks more like a pond. The teacher seems a bit odd to me.

Bottom left could go either way but that middle one is absolutely not a bay

at most the middle one is a pond

Thats s pond

That is a tiny lake, but how tf is it supposed to be a bay
TheRemedy187 on
Thats absolutely not a lake but if we are under those constraints that’s all you’re left with. That teacher absolutely does not understand what a bay is.
nikikins on
I’d even call the lake a pond.
Rule of thumb. If you can’t throw a stone across it easily, it’s a lake.

So many things wrong with this:
To everyone saying the middle is a pond, pond is not an option from the word bank. Also, the teacher gave it an 8/10, when it’s really a 6/8, plus 1 for the bonus question. So it would be 7/9 if the bonus question is worth 1 point, I guess. Not 8/10.
And yeah the teacher is obviously wrong and I suspect they’re just looking at an answer key that is wrong, and haven’t used their brain at their job in ages.

Bottom left is literally a picture of the Bay of Naples. That’s Mount Vesuvius in the background. Teacher is absolutely wrong.
MoonRiverRob on
Love that it’s Gulf of Mexico in the bottom right.
SwampCrittr on
I disagree it’s a lake. It’s a bass pond at best. But that other one is definitely a bay!
upsidedowntoker on
Both answers are wrong for the one in the middle that’s a pond.

Teacher is wrong.
TheAgedProfessor on
What the teacher is calling a “bay” is nothing of the sort… that’s a small pond, if anything. A fish pond, specifically. Man made.
The other one… it could be a lake, it could be a bay, it’s impossible to tell from the context shown since you can’t see if there’s an opposite side or not. Without that context, I’d have to say it’s a bay.

Exactly how does one sail into a bay without it opening to a larger body of water?

Nice job on the Gulf of Mexico, in any case. 😉

Teacher here who teaches this tooic and your teacher is wrong. You are 100% correct. Also these worksheet activities are nonsense.

At least the Gulf is properly named.
