Year Summaries June 22, 2008
Posted by Alicia MacFarlane in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so farAfter reading your summaries (see class activities), it is hard to believe how much you have all accomplished this year. First term was interesting as we wrote to our Canadian penpals in Kugluktuk, made inuksuks and visited the Risk Factory. Winter term was certainly busy during our WW2 topic, with trips, interviews and integrating the new PSPs into our learning. The River Study was lots of fun with Mrs. Stark as was the Guitar Hero transition project. The songs were great, thanks to Steven, and the videos turned out looking quite professional and all were original. It has been a very positive year and everyone should be proud of what they have accomplished; being more confident, improved behaviour, working with new technology, being creative, expressing yourselves in groups and representing the class and school, on trips and when speaking to visitors. Well done and keep up the good work.
Collaborative Writing June 22, 2008
Posted by Alicia MacFarlane in : Uncategorized , add a commentThank you all for the thoughtful responses regarding your novellas (see class activities page). I think you all have given feedback that is reflective of how your group worked together and any changes you made during the writing process. It seems everyone enjoyed our Writing Groups and felt that discussing ideas with each other was beneficial as you could could help one another. Also, the Crazy Talk images are very effective and look fantastic!
