For the past few weeks, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the grade fives were taking part in literature circles, as a way to explore novels with each other. Three small groups were formed and they were given the task to read a novel, and then think about what they read so they are able to complete a role.
The books were Exit Barney McGee by Claire MacKay, Millions by Danny Boyle, and Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson.
At the end, each student had to complete a culminating activity to share with other what they learned about the book.
We had students who created a newspaper, a CD, a graphic novel, and we even had a children`s book!
Here are some pictures of a few students` final work:
It`s amazing what you can do when you are inspired by a good book :)
