Book Club Cafe
We are approaching the due date of our Book Club project, which is on Friday March 6th (next week). This is an at-home task students were given back in January. They had to read a new novel and pick a book report project from 5 given options. They could also come up with a creative project of their own to demonstrate their understadning of the text, with the teacher's approval.
On Friday March 6th, we will have a cafe-style presentation set up. There will be a sign up sheet in the class for students who are interested in bringing a treat for the class (cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc). There will be a limit just to avoid having too many yummy treats! Sign up is a first come first serve basis. Ms. Hosseini will provide hot chocolate, and students are welcome to bring their favourite mug!
Each student will come to the front of the class and share the novel they have been reading, as well as the project they have been working on at home. During this presentation, students will be expected to share:
Report Choices:
· Artifact Basket – Collect 8-10 items that represent a significant event, character, or conflict. Each item must have a one-sentence explanation.
· Drawing and caption – Create a six-frame comic strip with one caption and two dialogue bubbles each.
· Write two letters – The first letter will be a letter from you asking the main character a thought provoking question. The second letter will be from that character replying to you, taking on their persona.
· Draw - Make an advertisement on large card stock to “sell” this book, be sure to be convincing.
· Dramatize- Perform a live broadcast and/or a video from an exciting scene in the book that demonstrates conflict and characterization.

We are approaching the editing phase in our fractured fairy tales writing process! Students are typing up their stories, printing them out, and editing with a peer. Please check-in with your child at home, asking them about their fractured story. Their new story should still follow similar plot events as the classic fairy tale, and should not be an entirely new tale.
We read Seriously, Cinderella is so Annoying. It is an excellent example of a fractured fairy tale because it changes the personality traits of the stepmother and Cinderella, yet the story still follows the original plot.
