In language class, our focus has been on making connections and point of view. Students have been thinking critically, asking questions and discussing their own points of view about the book.

During our shared reading, students have been critically thinking about good word choice. Students used this example of a cheese burger to create a list of adjectives to describe the picture.
Students in the class created some interesting sentences using words developed in class.

1) This is a healthy, fabulous, colourful, layered, crunchy, delicious, mouth watering cheeseburger. ( By Erin)

2) For people who are vegetarians, this picture is disgusting and ugly. For everyone else, the burger is a sweet, delicious, fabulous, mouth watering perfect score. ( By Olivia)

3) This is a disgusting, ugly crunchy burger. (By Patrick)

4) This burger is a mouth watering, sweet, flavourful, perfect, layered, delicious cheeseburger. (By Balee)

In class, making connections and point of view has been the focus in language. In class we watched the animated version of a wonderful book “Diary of  Worm” .  Students were placed into groups to demonstrate their thinking and share their results and present to the class.
