Today we got to work on our French posters. Students finished their drafts, got some feedback and then carried on to start their good copies. Soon the posters will be up in the classroom and we will start using our new french phrases. From recess to lunch we worked on our Alphabiography writing projects. Ms. Chohan gave a writing tip on different ways to make sentences. The lesson was called The Sentence Flip! After lunch, we stared an art project called Op Art Shading Blogs. We reviewed the process to create the composition and then looked at some examples to help us build the success criteria for the project. Then students got to work on their first drafts. It was amazing that in just a short time drafts were vastly improved based on teacher and peer feedback. Outstanding job being persistent in sticking to the principles of learning. |
