Dear Families,
We have just started our final units in ELA. For this period of time, 5th and 6th graders will be working on two different projects. Read below to see what each group is doing:
5th Grade
5th grade students are creating a Memoir Scrapbook, with photos, poems, writing, and images of their life. Students are finishing their storyboard, where they are organizing what will be included in their scrapbook. As they complete their storyboard, they will get to work on their scrapbook. (we are giving each student a 4X6 scrapbook)
Students will be including photos and images to go with their memories. They will be asking you for help with this as they begin to put their scrapbooks together. Any help you can provide printing photos, or gathering artifacts would be greatly appreciated. In addition, if you have any scrapbooking materials that you would be willing to donate, that would be fantastic!
6th Grade
6th grade students are working on a Podcast Project. Each student has chosen a person that is important to them, and is working on a 1-2 page piece of writing telling us about this person. Students will then use the website "Soundtrap" to record their voice reading their writing. Students will also be using Soundtrap to create a music track as background to their voice recording. Finally the mixed podcast will be downloaded as an mp3 file, and then uploaded to our YWP blog. Be sure to ask your student about this--Soundtrap is amazing!
Take care,
Joy
