Grade 7/8s heard the Easter story and recreated what Jerusalem would've looked like at the time of Jesus. We discussed the significance of each room. Students then explored Bible passages relating to each day of holy week and each significant place. Great job π @lclightmilton

Continuing to develop our writing further by looking at what words we use in our writing and finding ways to expand our vocabulary. Using class resources to help us create a picture in our reader's mind! Great job 6/7/8s! @lclightmilton
Moving on from analyzing stories to now working together to create stories. We are creating stories around types of conflict we see in our school and community. Students have begun today by determining their conflict, protagonist/antagonist and settings βοΈ

Students analyzed characters from various stories. They then created Facebook Profile cubes for the protagonist of their chosen story. Way to go 6/7/8s! @lclightmilton
Using diverse stories to analyze character traits and theme. These stories tell tales of brave characters facing adversity and show us how we can combat hate in our lives. We also identified how we see ourselves represented in these stories @lclightmilton
Using Pixar shorts and animated read aloud books to analyze story elements. Today we pointed out types of conflict and types of characters in "La Luna" and "The Boy Who Grew a Forest".
