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 👍 @lclightmilton

Discussing the importance of emotive language to help us connect our reader to our main character's emotions. Groups are brainstorming what emotions their character will experience and words they can use to make those emotions more impactful! @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 ✏️
