The Life of Steve Jobs Assembly

Today, we had our annual Grade 5/6 assembly! 

As a literacy component of our unit on how "technology impacts the world of work and leisure", we worked together to write a script about the life of Steve Jobs. 

For this project, we applied our research skills (media literacy) to use online platforms to find the information we were looking for. 

We also used our communication skills (literacy) to write for the school community as the audience. We did this by taking notes based on our research about Steve Jobs and rewriting the text in our own words. Each student was responsible to write a section of the script. 

If you were unable to make it, take a look at the video above!

Grade 3/4 Drama Assembly

On Wednesday, we collaborated with the Grade 3 class to lead a whole school assembly. 

This assembly was linked to our year-long unit on How we Express Ourselves with the central idea: Drama is a universal art form that allows us to express ideas and feelings. 

In order to create the scripts for our three plays, we worked together in groups to 'twist' fairy tales, changing the plot such as the settings and characters from the original story. 

In our performances, we focused on considering the space, our facial expressions, and body movements to effectively communicate on stage. 

Below are videos of the three plays, just in case you missed the live show!

Book Sharing Assembly

Over the past two months, we explored the genre of narratives during writers' workshop. 

We learned to use various strategies during the different stages of the writing process (prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and publishing) to improve the quality of our work. We especially worked hard on describing our characters, settings, and actions in order to help paint a picture in the readers' heads. 

During our last assembly, we finally had the opportunity to share our published work with our friends, families, and the rest of the school community!

We were all so proud of how far we had come as authors!
