Don’t forget to check our your child’s I Am poetry and give them feedback on their writing. Poems will be uploaded to their blogfolio later this week.
Have you ever wondered why we have fingerprints? or why we have different blood types? or questioned what kinds of bacteria may be lurking on your tongue? or how the human brain asks itself a question? or how our eyes perceive colour? or why we get goosebumps when we are cold or scared? or why we sometimes get a headache when we quickly eat or drink something cold? or why human skin and eyes come in different colours? or why our stomachs growl when we are hungry?
Students of Division 4 are actively investigating questions about the human body and its many systems and will be sharing some of their finding with you in the coming weeks.
It is with great pleasure to announce Gianna was chosen and awarded one of the four JAL Foundation Grand Prizes in Canada in this years 16th World Children’s Haiku Contest for 2019-2020. Gianna’s submission has now been sent to Japan to be considered by their Haiku judges. Selected haikus will be posted on JAL Foundation’s website and featured in their inflight entertainment programming on Boeing 787 international Japan Airlines’ flights. Her writing will also be published in the contest’s anthology “Haiku by World Children Vol. 16” early next year. Well done Gianna!
Before Spring Break we were exploring the structure of comics and graphic novels. We explored how text and visual features work together in graphic novels to tell a story. From organizing the panels and gutters, to different perspective shots, and various ways to create feeling, suspense, emotion, drama, connection.
We looked at what features are important to a story and explored the various elements of a plot. We looked at different ways to introducing characters and develop the setting. We also examined how rising actions build up to a climax and how conflicts are resolved through falling action.
Using the resources listed below you can finish your graphic novel assignment in paper or digital format. Once you have completed your assignment please upload a copy of your finished work to your Blogfolios for assessment.
