MdSt 20: May 22 End of documentary, discussion, yearbook intro…
- Students finished watching the emotional end of the documentary Farenheit 9-11.
- We discussed some of the differences in Micheal Moore’s style of documentary. They recognize a lot of bias and admit some of it is very effective in that many of the students are angry that the war is even on. We had a short discussion about the reality that they have existed in a world of war since these students were in Grade 5. They hardly notice it anymore, some said. It is a reality of our lives, but for what cost and what reason?
- Students had a look at how the yearbook pages will be constructed this year. They picked numbers out of a hat to designate which pages they will be responsible for and then I gave them a quick little lesson how easy it is to paste pictures and construct pages for it. This will be our focus for the next short while.
- There will be a News Coverage unit exam coming up shortly.
