Pizza box projects & Perfect Worlds...

6th: Today, we began the class by sharing the recreation and play artifact that we brought in for homework. Then, we discussed our Pizza Box Personal Heritage project that we'll be working on for the next few weeks. Students put together their pizza boxes, covered them with colored paper and then pasted their recreation/play artifact on the box. Then, we began to talk about one of the reading strategies we'll be looking at tomorrow- visualizing.
Homework: Bring in a picture/artifact for your pizza box project about your family.

7th: Today we began the class by talking about our ideas for our perfect worlds. Ms. Devine gave students a reading calendar for The Giver, mapping out what chapters need to be read by when. Then, students had the rest of the time to work on their perfect world projects.
Homework: Work on perfect world project. Remember that the map of the community and written reflection will be due Wednesday. Read chapter 4-7 in The Giver and complete one reading activity from the reading calendar in your mini-reading-notebook.
