Learning Outcomes

English Language Arts

-Describe character's actions and words and retell stories from their point of view.

What Did Students Do?

We read the book Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne together.  Students got together in small groups and discussed similarities and differences between the characters experiences in the park.  They looked at how the same story was seen in four different ways depending on the character's point of view.  Some students took on the roles of each character, sharing the story from their point of view.  Students then filled in a chart sharing the point of view of each character.   During our next activity, students looked at a picture of a snow day and, in groups, created a short skit as a character waking up on a Saturday morning to a snowy day.  They had to take on the point of view of either a child who loves the snow, a mom needing to go to a meeting across town, a dad who had to shovel the snow, a sibling who was going skiing in a few days, or an uncle who was a police office.

Blog Post 3 September 12th - 16th We had another great week in grade five. It was our first full week and went by so quickly! Learning Outcomes English Language Arts: Create Original Text Generate ideas to use texts from listening, reading, and viewing experiences as models for producing own oral, print, and other media texts What Did Students Do? The grade five students are organizing and putting on the Terry Fox Run. To do this, they have done a great deal of research about Terry Fox and the "why" behind the run. Students have read books, listened to stories, and watched videos to learn about Terry Fox. With that information, they have taken notes, shared school wide announcements, and created posters. We discussed different ways to share information and students identified talking, signing, writing, pictures, and more as ways to do this. They determined that when sharing information, it needs to be clear and interesting. They then created a target to ensure their posters w...
