December 6th

8-8 We read in bit and then watched a video in memory of the Montreal Massacre. We had a good discussion and then did some Art.

8-7 We cut out white ribbons in remembrance of the victims and wrote messages on them.

8-6 We cut out ribbons, wrote messages on them and hung them on our lockers. We then worked on our myths.

8-5 We watched the video, cut out and decorated white ribbons and hung them on the lockers.

8-8 We continued to work and enjoyed a treat from Julia (and her mom).

There will be an English test on metaphors and similes on Thursday for all classes.

Things to include in your myth:
-descriptive verbs
-alliteration
-onomatopoeia
-a metaphor
-a simile

Remember that a myth is set in the past, explains something in nature, can be aboriginal, uses repetitive words or phrases, sometimes involves supernatural power and is written in chronological order
