I know we've only just started putting our blogs together and some of us are having a bit of trouble getting our accounts set up, but hopefully we can have all of these little glitches resolved by the end of the day.
As you all know, most of our Grade 6-8 students will be going to see a performance of Wicked on November 24th as part of a unit focusing on tolerance. You also know that I'm very excited about this trip, and I've been working hard since last June to get everything ready for this very important unit.
As our grade 6/7 class begins to wrap up our Suspense unit, and our grade 8 class begins to wrap up their Humour unit, I thought it might be a good idea to begin looking towards our next focus. For this assignment, you are to write a post of at least 10 lines in length about the meaning of tolerance and discrimination. You're welcome to include a definition from one of our classroom dictionaries, but this will not count towards your 10 lines. I'm looking for your ideas and thoughts about tolerance and discrimination, so please use your own words and write as creatively as possible. You can write in any form or style you like, which could possibly include a rap, a song or poem, a journal entry, a creative story or a reflection. Please be creative and use lots of detail in your writing
This assignment will be due Thursday, October 14.
