It has been a while since my previous post. The students should have marks in all of their subjects. If you have any questions about your child’s marks, please drop me a line.
We are hard at work doing a big social project. I know that some of you have offered your video cameras for a project.
We are currently working on spreading the word about Globalization. Students have a variety of choices of how they want to spread the word including: story book, power point, video, songs etc. Regardless of the medium we will be publishing their work onto YouTube. I will be posting the link on the blog. The audience for the assignment is geared towards grade 5/6. This is to ensure that they students are putting the information they were given during class into their own words. This project will be taking the place of a test and so will be worth a significant portion of their term mark. There is not a definite due date yet for this assignment as of yet but it will be a while before the project is due. Once I have seen all of the group’s rough draft then I will have a better understanding of how long the project will take.
The students are also working on A Connections piece in which they are able to choose any writings that they find a connection with. They are looking for connections with themselves, another text, and with the world. The students had some practice with this so they should know what is expected of them.
Other than that we are just going to keep keeping on.
