This week we compared the myths of "Narcissus and Echo"(Roman) and "Dragon Princess Tatsuko." (Japanese) We then began reading the written version of the Maui Myth, which we will compare to the Disney film Moana. We will practice paragraph writing and discuss how audience can affect the interpretation of a work.

Social Studies

Our 3QPOC sheets were due on Monday. We then moved onto map reading and wrote a quiz on that on Wednesday. We then viewed and reproduced maps of north america in 2 different ways: we viewed the ancestral linguistic divisions of where our indigenous peoples lived, and then considered the map as a giant turtle, as it is in one of the creation stories we read. Finally, we began a research and presentation project into individual First Nations of Canada. We will work on it all next week and presentation will follow the week after.

FLA:
Thank you for sharing so many fun and interesting things about yourselves last week during your "ma vie en sac" presentations!  It was a great way to get to know a little bit more about each of you and it was a nice way to end off a short week 😀  This week we will be continuing our review of adjectives, preparing for a quiz and possibly introduce our next project.  On Tuesday we will be going to the library where Ms. Fitz will tell us a bit about the rules and systems of the learning commons.  We will also have a chance to sign out an independent reading novel or non-fiction book.  You will be expected to read this on your own time at home.  In a month or two, you will have independent conversations with me about your novel so that you can tell me about what you have been reading!

On Wednesday there will be a quiz on adjective placement and accord.
