The kids worked with a partner and took a scene from the actual Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire script and recreated it to see all the parts of a scene. Then they wrote the Slug Line (white index), Description/ Action(orange index) and Dialogue (yellow index). They shared with their partner. The format for the screenplay is really becoming imbedded in their heads--the writing they do in the content area ( after we research around each symbol) will 'show' more than tell. It is quite process. I've even been writing the Morning Message in this format. It's been fun to see the kids act out what is written in before Morning Meeting.
The are all the scenes chosen and correctly formatted. We talked about how the action just as important and some shots are all description of what is seen by the audience.
Working in the 'Outside Classroom' space.
Passing along the tradition of 'Finger Knitting'-- the 5/6 all are making scarves. They will also learn to crochet and knit. We'll decide in January our Service Project for these items.
Traditions are important to share. We talked about the importance of them in families and even in classes. It has been a happy couple of days seeing all the kids working together, learning together and so comfortable with each other.
Donated yarn and a basket of scarves from the previous year's Haiti Project. The meter stick was part of the discussion about proper length. The color choices of the kids is great. Some are buying scarves for family members--hope you are lucky recipient of such creative labor. All money made goes to a project that they will decide together to support.
This is a great way to use all this 5/6 energy!!!
