French Writing!

 In Français, students invented a monster and then wrote detailed directions on how to draw it.

Then, another student read and followed the directions to draw the monster. We even exchanged directions with another class!

How clear were the directions? 

How closely could someone else recreate the monster?

Here are the results!

This Week in 209!

 Here's what we'll be working on this week:

Mathématiques: working with decimal numbers, working with angles, working with equality

Français: daily reading, practicing sounds, learning the vocabulary and components of comic strips, creating a dialogue

English Language Arts: daily reading, writing a persuasive essay, critical thinking, poetry presentations, preparing Speechtastic

Sciences de la nature: learning about different types of satellites and the difference between astronomy and astrology

Speechtastic!

 It's time for another Speechtastic!

This time, students are preparing a Book Talk Speech. Students have each chosen a book and are planning a 2-5 minute speech to explain to the audience why they should (or should not) read their book. Students should be sure to have an introduction, a middle (with a short retell of the book as well as a few reasons why someone should (or not) read their book) and a conclusion.

Students are reminded to add their personality and really make the speech their own!

Presentations are Monday, May 13th.
