We then asked the students to choose the subject they knew the most about or that they thought would make the best Literary Non-fiction book. Three weeks ago, the students began writing their own stories. Rather than simply writing a fiction story, the students know that they have to include facts about their subject. Ask your child about what they are writing about and what strategies they are using to make this story an interesting and creative Literary Non-fiction book.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Big Idea: <\/b>Language and story can be a source of creativity and joy<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Peoples Principles of Learning:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learning requires exploration of one&#8217;s identity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Curricular Competencies:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan and create a variety of communication forms for different purposes and audiences (ie Literary Non-fiction text)<\/li>\n<li>Create texts to deepen awareness of self, family, and community<\/li>\n<li>Use sources of information and prior knowledge to make meaning<\/li>\n<li>Share ideas, information, personal feelings and knowledge with others<\/li>\n<li>Recognize the structure and elements of story<\/li>\n<li>Communicate using sentences and most conventions of Canadian spelling, grammar, and punctuation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Content:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">learn to use literary elements and devices<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">learn the writing process such as; revising, editing, considering audience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Core Competency:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Creative Thinking<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The capacity for creative thinking expands as individuals increase their range of ideas and concepts to recombine them into new ideas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RLQNtTDzgL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abicushman.com\/books\/flamingos-are-pretty-funky\/\">Flamingos Are Pretty Funky<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Flamingos Are Pretty Funky&#8221; &#8212; Abi Cushman Illustration\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abicushman.com\/books\/flamingos-are-pretty-funky\/embed\/#?secret=Ay1h84zDYU#?secret=RLQNtTDzgL\" data-secret=\"RLQNtTDzgL\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mister Got to Go\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBnKOpsZQ4g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past two months we have been going to the library every Tuesday to learn about Literary Non-fiction books with Ms Papapanagiotou.
