Yesterday's Hink Pink solution: 24 hours with games = play day
By today it is assumed that your Grey Cup timeline is complete and has been placed in your portfolio. We reviewed the criteria for a quality graphic story panel and then everyone got to work adding their historical moment to the Grey Cup story. The reading activities for The History of the Grey Cup should be in your portfolio by Monday. See below for the panel criteria.
Today was Name the Inspirational Salmon day. I was amused by the entries I received. The winning name will be announced on Monday.
I was happy that I was able to learn everyone's names before the end of the class. Please test my memory on Monday!
Thursday
Day 2! We read the graphic text "The History of the Grey Cup." During reading I asked everyone to create a simple timeline documenting the history told in the story in order to show you have read and understood the text. The criteria for the timeline that we came up with are as follows:
After reading, I would like you to research an event related to the Grey Cup that has occurred since 2009, and create one panel (drawing and caption) to continue the graphic story. We will discuss the criteria for a quality graphic novel panel in class tomorrow and details will appear on this blog. Remember, these items (the timeline and the panel) go into your portfolio and will be part of the evidence you may use at a later date to represent your learning related to the BIG IDEAS for English 9.
Wednesday
Welcome! Today we took a look at the course outline together in class. Next we talked about what types of things we consider to be symbolic of Canada. There were some wonderful responses: snow, moose, beavers, bacon!, hockey, Tim Hortons, maple syrup, cold weather, just to name a few. We also discussed why we think those things have come to represent Canada. We were just about to begin reading a text about the Grey Cup, but class ended so we will continue with that tomorrow.
I am looking forward to a great year!
