Personal Projects and Action

 

Hello everyone! 

We spent a week towards the end of our Who We Are unit to work on personal projects on topics that matter to us. 

Each of us chose an inquiry question to guide our research. 

We made sure to...

•  use at least two sources (G5) / three sources (G6) from the unit Padlet
• make my creation neat, clear, and well organised 
• make my creation informative
•  included my sources (MLA for Grade 6)

Below, you can see the process of our learning. 

We all ended up posing questions related to LGBTQ+ and many of us chose to take action in unique ways. 

We even created our own thumbnails for the videos we created as well. 

Take a look at these amazing displays!

Personal Narrative Writing

In Grades 5 and 6, we have been working on a personal narrative writing unit. 

As authors, we increased our self-management skills as we worked through the writing process of planning, drafting, revising, editing and publishing. 

This week, we had a book celebration to proudly share our books with our classmates. 

You can also see the students reading their books out loud on Seesaw Blog. 

Below, we are posting the cover and first page of each book. 

Our books are displayed on the first floor in the entrance area!
