Shakespeare's Alive!

In English Language Arts, 6-5 has been exploring William Shakespeare's comedic play Twelfth Night!

First we read the storybook version to become familiar with the complicated plot and the many, many characters. 
Next we read through the script of our adaptation of Twelfth Night.

On Monday, June 3rd, students will audition by reading a passage from the script. 

Parts will then be assigned, and play rehearsals will begin! 

We hope to be able to present our play to other classes at the end of the month.

From the English Department...

Our final Speechtastic is an Entertaining Speech!

Students are to prepare a 2-5 minute speech. It could be a humorous story, a scary story or a dramatic story.
Students: Remember that an entertaining speech is most effective when the topic is personal and you enjoy yourself. Try to keep it simple and tell your story like a roller coaster!

Presentations are Wednesday, June 5th and Thursday, June 6th

From the French Department...

In Français, students invented a monster and then wrote detailed directions on how to draw it. We then gave the directions to another class and asked those students to carefully follow the directions to recreate the monster! As you can see, many directions were clearly written as lots of the recreated monsters resemble the originals! Well done writers!

Students should be able to:
*estimate the measure of an angle
*measure an angle using a protractor
*identify the type of angle (aigu, obtus, plat, droit, rentrant)
*find a missing angle knowing that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180'

We will be reviewing these concepts in class.
