Today's writing to finish

The character ... reminds me of...

Remember to include details about internal characteristics of the people you are comparing.

Write a life story about one of the bullies in the classroom. Include all of the important events up to the point where they were sitting in their desk chanting, "Piggy!"
(Back-story, why they bully.)

World Issues

Our grade eight ambassadors spent the day at HSC today learning about a variety of Global Issues. They took part in many interesting workshops and are eager to share what they learned with the rest of the class as well as our school. It was a treat to hear from guest speaker Marc Kielburger of Free the Children. I am looking forward to seeing how the Me to We idea gets put back in place at our school! It has been a while since we had the group running. Our first initiative, Halloween for Hunger was a huge success (925 donations)! Can't wait to see where we will go from here!

Our class is responsible for hosting this Friday's Remembrance Day assembly. On Wednesday, I have a volunteer here to work during the nutrition breaks with a few students to plan the assembly. If you are interested in being part of the planning, please post your name here.

Sentence of the Weeeeeek

Today we looked at how to show posession of something by adding an 's at the end of a person's name.

What was the tricky instance for adding 's to the end of someone's name? How do we solve this problem?

Use the 's we learned about today to write a sentence about each of the following:

my shoes
a cat
your friend
a computer
worms
snow
a beach

You should have 7 sentences in total. Write one final sentence of your choice using your name in it.

Be sure to check back in the comment section for feedback on your work. Feel free to add feedback help for your peers as well. I'll give tokens for that!
