Unit 3: Mar 20, 2018

Wow! The 3rd quarter is coming to an end quickly. It took me a while to get this posted as students have been finished with this unit for a couple of weeks. Please take a look at their hard work below.


As A Reminder:

Students are expected to read, in English, every night. Unless I have assigned reading or other homework, the reading is their choice. They should be reading about 20-30 mins a day.


Year 2 (G7)

Year 2 students completed a poetry unit and put their creativity, vocabulary, and play on words (poetic devices) to the test! They completed a variety of formulaic poems to help prepare them for becoming a poet. For their summative, they annotated 2 poems, compared/contrasted those poems, wrote their own poems, and then created a poem photostory movie.

Year 3 (G8)

Year 3 students examined the bias that is present in their daily lives. They completed modules on bias in news that helped them better understand bias in news. They examined how personal bias plays a role in decisions. They viewed entertainment and commercial media for various stereotypes/biases. They completed all of these in their summative project with annotations as well as explanations. Then, they created a product to demonstrated bias and help others to be aware. I’m super impressed with how this unit challenged them to examine their daily lives, perspective they view media, and the bias that may affect them and others.
