UOI – work period
The students had a very productive day.
They completed the novel study, began their alternative ending, brainstormed
topics for the summative assessment, worked on speeches and their novel study
character connections activity.
The alternative ending should be no longer than a page long. The
good copy will be written on aged paper and will be the centrepiece of a mixed
media art project. The students will complete the project over the next couple
of weeks during art lessons.
The second assignment is the Novel Study Connections Assignment. The
students need to identify three characters in the novel Bridge to Terabithia that are exposed to a health risk discussed during
Unit of Inquiry lessons. They have to communicate how each character ;
- What part of their health was at risk (mental, social, physical, relational).
- Describe the risk and relate it to the Real World Safety Pledge.
- How this risk affected the character.
- What the character could have done to lower the risks.
Art
As usual, the students had art last
period with Mrs. Doucette. Please check the agenda for homework activities.
