Language Arts (6G, 6H, 6I)

 Good Times in The Maritimes

Our Language Arts classes (6G, 6H and 6I) will embark on an enrichment study of The Maritime Provinces beginning in November. This study entails three parts, the first of which immerses students in the topic through the use of books, magazines, guest speakers, perhaps a field trip, music, photographs, internet websites, slide shows, videos, films, and many artifacts.

Another component of the first part is an Interest Development Center. This center will be located in a dedicated spot in the classroom. I am looking for everyone’s help in order to establish this center. I’m sure the children will enjoy bringing in the items in to add to our interest center. I will ensure the safety of any items you may have at home which can be contributed.

The second part of the study involves students in decision making activities, learning how to problem solve, as well as brainstorming and webbing exercises to assist in making their study plans.

The third part of the enrichment study involves students determining their own interest areas, choosing what most interested them from the first part. They also choose the path their research will take, and are also involved in problem focusing.

The independent study leads to the development of their chosen product. Students combine their acquired knowledge and skills with their interests and creativity to develop the product. Students will share, demonstrate, and perform from their independent studies for their invited audience upon completion of their products.

Thank you for your support in this exciting endeavor.

•VIE 2, INSTIC, YAOUNDE, CAMEROUN
•VIE 3,Ecole d’Enseignement Secondaire du Kadiogo, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

•VIE 12,St. Stephen Middle School, St. Stephen, Canada


We will be participating in a Global Teenager Project (GTP) learning circle. This will be a team effort between teachers and students who might otherwise never have the opportunity to interact.

The goals of the learning circle : Although the technology plays an essential role in facilitating the exchanges, it is not the focus of the activity.

The essential goals are:
to promote intercultural and regional understanding and sensitivity
to foster problem solving and critical thinking
to enhance communication skills
to develop collaborative work strategies
learn to use telecommunications technology

Participating in this GTP can be a fun and exciting way for students and teachers to learn together by working on a common task: to gain, process and present information.
During the circle, students are both working on their own and each other's questions ( in their second language -French). Receiving responses to their own question and responding to others make the project more valuable. Students will be in contact with other students from the francophonie which will allow them to enhance their language skills as well.

You may help by discussing with your child possible questions that may be asked related to the theme of FAMILY. This theme will invite us to share the organisation of family, the structure of the family, everything that can be related to family among different countries.


Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great night
Mme Poirier
