Parts of a River
Every drop in the Realm has been dragged into one narrow channel while the rest run dry. A river is not one thing — it has parts, each with a job, and naming them spreads the flow back out.
What you're training for
At the Green Current, the river is jammed into a single groove. It fans back out for whoever can match each river part to its job. Train here first; prove it in the simulation.
The science
- Source: where the river starts — a spring, a snowfield, a lake.
- Tributary: a smaller stream joining the river and adding its water.
- Divide: the high ground between two watersheds — the border where rain chooses its river.
- Mouth: where the river empties out, often building a delta from everything it carried.
Teach it today — one ball of string
The floor river. Lay a river across the classroom in string or tape — source at one corner, mouth at the other, two tributaries joining, a divide marked with chairs. Students each take a station and announce their job as a "drop" walks the route. The vocabulary attaches itself to places, not flashcards.
