What we did in
humanities today
Today in humanities, we discussed how we were going to be responding
to grade 8s from a class in Australia! Using our blogs, we would be replying to
them about their problems in Woodleighville.
Ms.Morris, the teachers class from Australia, has a website
called Woodleighville Morris Ward where we are able to socialize with her
class. Our humanities class will be writing letters to the editor on these issues
in the town. We read up on articles yesterday to get a head start for ideas on
how to properly format our letter. We read up on the issues: recovering from
Cyclone Mike, Rioting recovery, should we install CCTV cameras, and do we want
a WOLDI Superstore.
Our class was in the library today working on our letters to
Woodleighville about their issues. We
each had to choose one problem and write a letter to the editor about our
feedback. These included offering
suggestions, agreeing or disagreeing to the problem, giving our opinions to
some of their arguments.
I am very excited to be responding and giving feedback from
this grade 8 class in Australia and especially look forward to discussing the
reality of economic, political, and social conflicts currently happening in their town.
