We will be doing our Google Meets. We'll try a guessing game this week. Describe an object you are hiding behind your back or in a box and see if we can guess. Grade 4s will start at 12:00 and Grade 5s will start at 12:30. I may divide into smaller groups next week.
Looks like it will be a beautiful week weather-wise, so I will incorporate some outdoor time into this week's work :)
As usual, please e-mail me with any questions about the work after taking a look at it if you still don't understand.
GRADE 4
Social Studies:
We are starting Medieval Times! It's the time of knights and castles. It was a time where you were mostly born into your station in life (class or job). There was a hierarchy which means a few people were at the top who were the most important, powerful and rich. Under them, were the next most important or powerful people. Most people were at the bottom and they did not have an education, money or power.
There is a Google Doc in your Social Studies folder called "Le système féodal" listing the kinds of people who lived then and asking you to place them where you think they go in the pyramid (a hierarchy). Fill in the blank boxes.
Next, there is a PDF with instructions on how to do the task "Mes armoiries personnelles". Please use the Google Drawing with just the Coat of Arms template. You may print it out and draw on it or do it digitally by inserting pictures into each section. (The first section should be something that symbolizes Canada for you, the next is something you've accomplished and something that represents your ancestors. At the bottom, please draw something that is important for your family and something that makes you happy. Try to write some words or short sentences to explain your choices of drawings or pictures in French.) This was hard to explain in writing, so please e-mail or message on class dojo with any questions after taking a look at both documents!
Optional: Duolingo and/or go for a walk and write in your journal what you saw.
GRADE 5
DramaBecause we didn't finish our drama presentations (new versions of a old famous stories done on google slides and narrated with sound effects if possible), you have a choice.
CHOOSE ONE OPTION:
1) Make a copy of the google slides your group was working on and finish it on your own. Use Screencastify to present it changing your voice for each part or getting family members to help you present. (Present only part of it if you feel it is too long.) Share the screencastify with me when finished.
2) Make a copy of the google slides that your group was working on and finish it with some others from your group who would like to continue working collaboratively. I am not sure how you would present this collaboratively, but if you have an idea, you can let me know. Otherwise, same as in the first choice, get your family to help you or change your voice for each part and use Screencastify. Share the screencastify with me when finished.
4) Take the play "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" (Les trois boucs bourrus) and make a puppet show at home and record it with you changing your voice for each part or even getting some family members to help you. I will send everyone a copy of the play in their Drama folder in Google Drive. E-mail me a copy of the video.
5) Let me know if you have another idea you would like to try.
****IMPORTANT: E-mail me to let me know which option you will be doing and if you need access to your group documents if you need them.****
Optional: Duolingo, A-Z French levelled readers and/or go for a walk and write in your journal what you saw.
