CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR TERRIFIC EFFORTS ON NJ ASK 2012!!
HAIKU PRODUCTION - Students are capturing feelings, scenes, and moments from
their readings in the form of haikus which will then be displayed through
PhotoStory and Animoto presentations.
EKPHRASTIC POETRY DISPLAY - Students created artwork based on their
reflections on famous paintings, and then wrote haikus to reflect their
original work. Students worked with Mrs. Schiano on a video production
discussing their projects.
The sixth grade authors wrote narratives as part of an author
study on Chris Van Allsburg. Their original creations were based on The
Mysteries of Harris Burdick and The Chronicles of Harris Burdick. Check out
the website:
