Short Stories in Progress!

Our Grade 9 students finished off their year with a unit on What is Beauty?  If you check out their blogs you will see that they have included a number of posts related to the topic:

• They chose an image and and wrote a post explaining their idea of beauty. 
• They listed qualities that they feel are related to their definition of beauty. 
• They chose a poem that "spoke" to them about beauty and then did a short analysis of the poem.
• After our study of the elements of short stories - the students created a Vine video and used that as their starting point for writing their own short stories.  Once they had completed a story planner and chart - they had the choice to write their own story or work within their group to create a story together.  An image and music were also to be added. 

We're running out of time - but please read our blogs...and see what has been completed to date...
