Investigating and analysing Literature through description and character identification. Presentation.

The grade 5 literature project has introduced, developed, and further cultivated many skills useful to students both in the academic setting and in the world at large. Students have been introduced to classic literary texts from various English speaking countries, and were encouraged to analyze the personality characteristics and emotions expressed by each character. This assignment has challenged students to adapt a different perspective of the world through the reading of literature and the perspectives of main characters, while at the same time encouraging their production in English through self reflection and character identification. This literary project has not only furthered students development in English and increased confidence with the language, but it has also better prepared them for success in the ever more globalized world of the future.

Have a look at this presentation, which summarizes the process...!!!!!!!!!!

Dealing with EMOTIONS...GO AWAY BIG GREEN MONSTER...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently in English class, the students have been learning emotions, parts of the face, and colors through a project called “Go Away Big Green Monster”.  This project is designed to supplement the long term project of emotions that the students have been working on throughout the year in the library, as well as review and reinforce important vocabulary in English. Each student has constructed their own monster; naming each part of the face and choosing a color for each feature. Each student has created a unique monster for themselves. Now, they are focusing on how to describe their monster and the characteristics and features that it has. Coming up soon we will share a video of the recordings of students presenting their monsters, we hope you will click and watch!
